Allowing same-day bookings

Allow same-day reservations for a type

1. Go to Setup > Types and open the type you want to change.

2. Edit the type and scroll to the Availability section.

3. Select Accept same day bookings.

4. In Until when do you want to accept same day bookings?, enter the latest time for bookings with arrival today. For example: 12:00.

5. Save the type.

The time uses the time zone of your administration. To accept same-day reservations all day, enter 23:59.

Which arrival dates guests can book

• Accept same day bookings selected: guests can book with arrival today until the time you entered. After that time, the earliest arrival date is tomorrow.

• Accept same day bookings not selected: the earliest arrival date for the type is always tomorrow.

A guest who is still booking when the deadline passes must choose a later arrival date.

You can always create a reservation with arrival today in the back office. The setting doesn't limit your own staff.

Notifications for same-day reservations

You get a message in your reception messages inbox for every reservation with arrival today that isn't made in the back office. This includes reservations from your website, channels and the API. The message is also sent to the email address of your administration. Reservations you create in the back office don't trigger this message.

Default setting for new types

A new type accepts same-day reservations by default, until 23:59. If you want a deadline, or no same-day reservations at all, change the setting before you make the type active.
