Account Connections Q&A
What happens when I change my Airbnb password?
After you change your Airbnb password, revoke Rezdy from your Airbnb Host account, sign out of Airbnb, and then re-add Airbnb to your Rezdy account. Resetting your password enables the connection so you can reconnect to Rezdy as soon as possible.
I have multiple Host accounts on Airbnb. Can I connect all of them to one Rezdy account?
No. You can only connect one Airbnb Host account to one Rezdy account.
I have multiple Rezdy accounts, but only one host account on Airbnb. Can I connect the host account to my multiple Rezdy accounts?
No. You can only connect one Airbnb Host account to one Rezdy account.
If I remove the Airbnb channel in Rezdy, is my Airbnb Host account automatically disconnected?
No. You must manually revoke Rezdy's access in your Airbnb Host account to disconnect.
How do I disconnect my Rezdy account from Airbnb?
Follow the steps in the 'Revoke Access' article to disconnect your Rezdy account.
Why don't my Airbnb activities appear in Rezdy for mapping?
Make sure your Airbnb activity meets these requirements:
- Activity type set to Experience.
- Booking type set to Public Group Only or Private Group Only.
- Pricing set to Per Person.
Update these settings in your Airbnb Host account, then try mapping again.
Activity Mapping Q&A
If I remove a product mapping in Rezdy, does that deactivate the mapping in Airbnb?
Rezdy sends a message to Airbnb to change the source of truth back to Airbnb. This change allows you to manage the calendar directly in Airbnb. Airbnb stops sending bookings to Rezdy for that product.
Product / Activity Q&A
Does Rezdy sync product content (descriptions or images) to Airbnb?
No. You must manually update your Airbnb activity content in the Host account.
Does Rezdy automatically create my Airbnb product when I complete mapping?
No. Before mapping, you must create the listing or activity directly in your Airbnb Host account.
What is an 'original' product, and when does an experience qualify as one?
Airbnb classifies an experience as 'original' when it meets high-quality standards, and the Airbnb team helped design or develop it.
What booking form fields does the integration support?
The integration only captures the lead customer's first and last names in the booking.
I set a minimum notice period of 8 days, but Airbnb shows it as 7 days. Why?
Airbnb supports minimum notice periods only in the following increments: 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days. If you set a value in Rezdy that doesn't match one of these increments, Rezdy selects the next highest supported value and syncs it with Airbnb. However, if you set a value greater than 10080 minutes (7 days), Rezdy defaults it to 7 days.
If I have 2 activities in my Airbnb account but map only 1 to a Rezdy product, can I continue managing the unmapped activity's availability directly in Airbnb?
Yes. You can manage any activity that isn't connected to Rezdy directly in Airbnb.
Availability Q&A
Can I manage my availability directly in Airbnb after mapping my product through Rezdy?
No. Once you map your product, Airbnb locks the timeslots and prevents edits. A banner indicates that you can't modify availability directly.
Why does Airbnb show only 16 seats when I have more available in Rezdy?
Airbnb supports up to 16 seats for Public Group experiences. For Private Group experiences, the maximum is 10 seats. If your Rezdy calendar shows more, Rezdy caps the available slots in Airbnb accordingly.
Some of my sessions aren't appearing on Airbnb. Why?
Airbnb only accepts session start times in 5-minute increments. Before sending availability to Airbnb, Rezdy checks each session start time and excludes any that don't meet this requirement — so those sessions won't appear on Airbnb. Start times like 12:05 pm, 1:50 pm, and 3:00 pm are accepted. Start times like 1:31 pm, 1:42 pm, or 2:13 pm are rejected.
Price Q&A
Does Rezdy sync my prices to Airbnb?
Yes. Rezdy now supports price sync to Airbnb for Adult, Child, and Infant price options, as well as product-level pricing. Any price change you make in Rezdy syncs to Airbnb automatically.
How does Rezdy know which Airbnb price option to sync my price to?
Rezdy uses Price Option Mapping if you have configured it for Airbnb in your Rezdy account. If no mapping is configured, Rezdy checks whether the price option label contains the word Adult, Child, or Infant and syncs to the matching Airbnb price option accordingly.
My prices are set up as tax-exclusive in Rezdy. Will they sync correctly to Airbnb?
Yes. Rezdy always syncs prices to Airbnb as tax-inclusive. If your product uses tax-exclusive pricing, Rezdy rebuilds the price to include tax before syncing.
My prices aren't syncing to Airbnb. Why?
Price sync is not supported when your Rezdy product uses any of the following:
- Per item pricing.
- A price option where seats used is greater than 1 and the label does not contain Adult, Child, or Infant.
- Group Per Person or Group Total pricing.
- A tax configured as a fee per order.
If your product uses any of these, manage prices directly in your Airbnb Host account.
If I update the product-level price in Rezdy, does Airbnb update too?
Yes. Updating the price at the product level in Rezdy automatically updates the activity listing price in Airbnb.
Going Live Q&A
I have successfully mapped my product to Airbnb, and I can see that availability has synced. Why am I still not bookable?
Only published activities with LISTED status can be bookable. Check the status of your listing or activity in your Airbnb Host account.
If a Host has both accommodation and experiences on Airbnb, can they prioritise their services so they appear to customers booking accommodation?
No. You cannot prioritise services on Airbnb.
Is there a ranking logic that the system uses to display the customer's order of experiences/services?
Yes, although we are not aware of the ranking logic.
Booking Q&A
What price options does the integration support?
Airbnb supports per-person pricing with Adult, Child, Infant, or Everyone. If you use custom labels in Rezdy, Airbnb tries to map them based on these keywords.
We have mapped our product, and the system is syncing availability, but it's still not bookable. Why?
Airbnb only allows bookings for published activities with LISTED status. Check your activity's status in your Airbnb Host account.
What happens to past Airbnb bookings after I connect my Rezdy account?
Past bookings won't carry over because the integration uses newly created company accounts. You must manually manage changes or cancellations for older Airbnb bookings.
If I cancel an Airbnb booking in Rezdy, does Airbnb reflect the cancellation?
No. You must cancel the booking manually using your Airbnb Host account.
What customer details does Rezdy receive from an Airbnb booking?
Rezdy receives only the customer's first and last name.
When a guest books accommodation, does Airbnb offer my experience at checkout?
No. Airbnb doesn't use a cart system. Airbnb offers Experiences after the guest completes their accommodation booking.
If a guest books an experience first, does Airbnb suggest accommodation afterward?
No, not currently. Airbnb may change this in the future, but it doesn't offer that option today.
Can I communicate directly with the guest?
When a customer messages you through the Airbnb app, Rezdy notifies you via the notification bell in the top right of your Rezdy account. You can view a snapshot of the message there. To read it in full or reply, click the hyperlink — this takes you to your Airbnb Host account where you can respond.
What price appears in the reseller comments field of my Rezdy booking?
The field shows the tax-exclusive price and the net amount Airbnb owes the operator for the booking.
If I set a promotion on Airbnb, does Rezdy reflect it in the booking?
Yes and no. Rezdy displays the guest's paid price and the net amount Airbnb owes you in the reseller comments field. However, Rezdy does not adjust the total booking amount itself — the system determines this value by the price set in your calendar at the time of booking.
What information does Rezdy sync to Airbnb?
Rezdy syncs real-time availability and pricing to Airbnb. When a guest books through Airbnb, the system automatically creates the booking in Rezdy.
What happens to the Airbnb booking in my Rezdy account if I make changes or add comments and then Airbnb amends it later?
If Airbnb amends the booking it originally created, the booking in Rezdy updates with the latest information it provides. This means any prior changes and comments are replaced.
Do customers receive emails upon confirmation?
Yes. Airbnb sends all customer confirmation emails. Rezdy does not send customer emails for Airbnb bookings.
Do operators receive emails upon confirmation?
Yes. Rezdy and Airbnb both send confirmation emails to operators.
Post Booking Q&A
Do customers receive automated emails set up in Rezdy?
No. Customers do not receive automated Rezdy emails for Airbnb bookings. You can, however, set up and enable automated emails for each activity in your Airbnb Host account.
How do I know when a customer has sent me a message through Airbnb?
Rezdy notifies you via the notification bell icon in the top right of your Rezdy account. From there you can view a snapshot of the message. To read it in full or reply to the customer, click the hyperlink — this takes you directly to your Airbnb Host account where you can respond.
Do customers receive their barcode after booking through Airbnb?
Yes. Once an order is confirmed, Rezdy sends the barcode to the customer as an image via the Airbnb app. Per-order, per-participant, and custom barcodes are all supported and delivered automatically.
Troubleshooting Q&A
I'm not receiving message notifications from Airbnb in Rezdy. What can I do?
You can reauthorise Rezdy's connection to your Airbnb Host account to restore notifications. To do this:
- In Rezdy, go to your Airbnb channel.
- Click the down arrow next to Manage Agent.
- Select Re-authorise and follow the prompts.
