...most obsessive attention to detail. I take that seriously. I'm naturally a problem-solver, an over-communicator, and unapologetically detail-oriented, because in this line of work, sweating the small stuff prevents the big stuff. What advice would you give to new short-term rental operators?
Decide early what kind of operator you want to be, and build around that. There's a difference between chasing...

OwnerRez has created some solutions to help everyone get started as you review your Manually Record Deposits (https...

Make sure broken stuff is actually acknowledged and addressed.

That's it for the shiny new stuff, but there's a lot more to go through as we move into enhancements and bug fixes... Enhancements & Tweaks
Let's cover the channel stuff first, and we'll start with Airbnb.

Happy Hump day, everyone! 🐫 We have 37 updates to discuss with some exciting new features to start it off. While our focus continues to hover around the PM module, we knocked out some other stuff this week that will fortify the ongoing 2021 roadmap. Here we go.

We've also added comment capability to the update history so you can let us know what you think when stuff happens. As with the blog, the comment capability is available via the forums under...

So stuff like your FAQ or Availability page won't have a star rating on them when they come up in Google search results.
Another important thing is to understand how the star rating and review count are cal...

Great idea, Heroes. We have a bunch of stuff coming out around the guest forms and guest experience, leading to internationalization and language settings. We had not talked about the currency thing, but you're right - we could incorporate a setting to "show in different currency" which gives a good estimate of what it will be, even though the actual processing is in a different currency.

True. But the ARDI coverage here is $20 for $1000. This is $29 for $10,000 plus a lot of other stuff.
HomeAway is trying to get people to elect $49 pdp. This is much better compared to that.
...sheets, etc - all are never more than a few hundred bucks at most. Having 10 grand of coverage is pointless if you never use all that.
PS. Our regular HOI insurance on the houses covers really big stuff with a 500/1000 deductible (and short term renter/liability is specifically mentioned as a named coverage) so anything that would be 10 grand we can cover with that.
We're not quite finished with this release but you'll be back up and running in a day or so. We're in the process of releasing all the new stuff now.

Usually, though, it's way easier to just do one template that has the overall stuff that's the same per property, and then use the Insert Field button to insert fields for the parts that change like property name, address, etc. Don't create a custom field for the entire body (althou...
Awesome!
Yep, on the logged in site on your booking area it only searches the bookings and stuff in your account.
To search support articles, forums, and blog posts, use the search box in the support area: Yes, we know we need to put that at the top of the screen here :-)
