Ebab.com was the first website to offer safe, private accommodations for travelers in the gay community and continues to be a leader in this category. Ebab strives to have their guests feel welcome, accepted, and comfortable with hosts of the community. Ebab's gay or gay-friendly hosts span 560 cities and 72 countries.
Ebab is a calendar-based channel, which works differently than normal distribution channels. For example, only availability can be updated, no rates or any other stay restrictions will be sent or updated. You can learn more about this by reading our article here.
Note: Calendar channels do not support receiving rates from a channel manager. You must enter rates directly into your extranet.

- Go to myfrontdesk and open the Channels page
- Search for Ebab and click on 'Not Setup, Click to Setup' button
3. Click to enable the channel
Remember that calendar-based channels do not provide the number of guests in a reservation, so bookings for shared/dorm rooms will be imported as 1 bed by default, even though there could be more. It's safest not to update/sell dorm rooms on this channel.
