How to Connect Tripadvisor Vacation Rentals to myfrontdesk

Follow

Tripadvisor Vacation Rentals has combined several popular Vacation Rental sites into a single management interface.  By setting up your Tripadvisor Vacation Rentals property account, you will be able to market your property to each of the portals listed below.

  • Before you set up Tripadivsor Vacation Rentals, make sure to read our in-depth article that discusses how calendar channels work, important issues such as how to deal with cancellations, dorm rooms, and many other important topics: Working with Calendar Channels (Vacation Rental Sites)
  • Selling Dorm/beds rooms is not recommended.  
    Calendar-based channels do not provide us with the number of customers that booked, so bookings for shared/dorm rooms will be imported as 1 bed by default, even though there could be more! It's safest to not update/sell dorm rooms on Tripadvisor vacation rentals.

You can also add TripAdvisor link to your e-mail templates, please, check this article for more details.
