    Hi, how can you see who has booked with Late check-out? Is this visible in the Calendar or in the Housekeeping list?

    Hello, Laurence Francinetti!

    Thank you so much for asking this super-valid question!

    Currently, the Late Check-out field in the Property Policies is just for informational purposes and doesn't check or update your availability. It also does not show any special alerts in the PMS Calendar.

    However, it would be a great feature indeed 💡I kindly invite you to please post your awesome idea in the Cloudbeds Community so other community members can see it, comment, and vote for it. The more votes, the better!

    In the meantime, I can kindly suggest you some alternatives:

    • Create an item/service and add it as an Add-On (image attached as an example from a demo account) It would also allow you to create a report later.
    • Add a note in the Reservation about the Late check-out (this would display a colored dot in the reservation on the Calendar) and also in the Housekeeping notes field. Learn more about how to create notes here.
    • Add a Courtesy Hold for a couple of hours on the check-out day, indicating the Late check-out hours. Learn more about Courtesy Holds here.
    • Create a Late Check-Out Guest Status (image attached). This option allows you to export the reservation list and select "guest status" as a parameter, and also to filter guests by Guest Status. Learn more by clicking on this article.

    Please let us know if this information is helpful. We're always happy to help!

    Regards,
