Close, black out or block rooms in Beds24 to stop them being booked online. Pick the method that fits: close the whole property for a period, close single rooms and dates in the calendar, or hide a room from your booking page.
Ways to close rooms
| Method | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Exceptional period | Settings > Booking Engine | Each property has an exceptional period in its booking rules. Use it to close the whole property for a period. |
| Calendar blackout | Calendar, override row | Set the override for a room and date to Blackout to close the room completely. |
| Calendar inventory | Calendar, inventory row | Set the inventory for a room and date to 0 to close the room on that date. You can also change the inventory by CSV file upload with the API at api.beds24.com. |
| Black booking | Booking status | Give a booking the status Black to close the room. Black bookings aren't counted in reports. |
| No valid price | Your prices | Any date without a valid price is closed. End all prices on the day before the closure and start a new price on the day the room reopens. |
| Bookings from a CSV file | API at api.beds24.com | Import many bookings efficiently from a specially formatted CSV file. |
| Hide from booking page | Settings > Properties > Rooms > Setup, Availability | Set Sell Priority = hide room to hide the room from your booking page. |
Tip: In the calendar you can change several dates at once by choosing the start and end date of the range. If you can't see the override or inventory row, turn it on in the calendar filter settings.
