Thanks to the Bookability settings, you can decide whether to review the booking requests before sending a confirmation to your guests. You have the freedom to apply a different rule for each of the rentals in your portfolio.
💡 Note: If you are connected to an OTA such as Booking.com or Airbnb, the bookability settings set in Lodgify will only apply to your website and will not affect the one selected for your OTA.
To set your booking conditions:
- Go to your Main Menu in the top left corner and select Rentals.
- Choose the rental you want to amend and select Booking Settings.
- In Bookability, you can choose one of the following options from the drop-down menu:
| Option | This is how the booking process works: |
|---|---|
|
Inquiry only No initial obligations for either the guest or yourself to confirm the booking. |
|
|
Booking requests Manually review and approve or decline all booking requests |
The guest makes a booking request and must agree to your rental agreement terms if you have set one.
💡 Note: For further details on the setup and booking process, see our Use cases for booking requests. |
|

💡 Note: You must set a Policy that contains a Reservation deposit if you want to accept online payments. You can decide the amount that you want to receive upfront, either as a fixed amount or as a percentage, which can be as high as the 100% of the booking value.
