00:00:00
welcome back to non nonsense Airbnb in
00:00:02
this video I will show you how you can
00:00:04
list multiple rooms on Airbnb let's say
00:00:08
you have a house which has two rooms and
00:00:11
you want to list the entire house on
00:00:13
Airbnb so if someone wants they can rent
00:00:15
the entire house also if someone wants
00:00:18
they can just rent one room or you want
00:00:20
to sell the other room as well so you
00:00:22
basically want to rent the rooms
00:00:24
individually and if someone wants they
00:00:26
can rent the whole house as well right
00:00:28
it can be done with very easily for this
00:00:31
you will need to create three listings
00:00:34
one listing for the entire house and
00:00:36
then one listing each for the rooms so
00:00:38
you will have three listings all
00:00:40
together when you're creating the
00:00:42
listings you don't have to do anything
00:00:43
special these three listings will be as
00:00:46
they are for example listing number one
00:00:49
will be listed as a house and you will
00:00:51
list two and three as rooms when you're
00:00:53
listing them you will just choose what
00:00:55
kind of space it is you will choose
00:00:57
rooms that is simple just create three
00:01:00
listings one house two rooms but the
00:01:02
magic really happens when you connect
00:01:04
their calendars and after this I will
00:01:06
explain you how you connect the
00:01:08
calendars you will have one parent
00:01:11
calendar and you will connect the child
00:01:13
calendars to that what will happen after
00:01:15
that as soon as you receive a booking
00:01:17
for the parent listing it will
00:01:19
automatically block both the child
00:01:22
listings or let's say if you receive a
00:01:23
booking for this room it will
00:01:25
automatically block the entire house for
00:01:28
bookings but it will keep keep the
00:01:30
second room open for bookings let me
00:01:32
show you how this is done on Airbnb try
00:01:34
and do this from a computer because
00:01:37
Airbnb phone app is not suited for
00:01:39
things like this once you're logged in
00:01:41
Just click on switch to hosting on the
00:01:43
top right that will take you to your
00:01:45
hosting dashboard and then click on
00:01:48
calendar that will open up the multic
00:01:50
calendar view where you will be able to
00:01:52
see all your three Calenders in one view
00:01:55
in my case these properties are not
00:01:57
actually related to each other but I
00:01:59
have chosen an account with multiple
00:02:01
listings so I can explain it well to you
00:02:03
let's assume this fourth one is my main
00:02:06
house and the other two are the two
00:02:09
rooms in that house so you need to click
00:02:12
on the main house first that will open
00:02:14
up the big calendar view on the right
00:02:16
hand side you will see pricing and
00:02:18
availability tab click on availability
00:02:21
and then scroll down at the bottom you
00:02:23
will see connect calendars the first one
00:02:26
is connect to another website you can
00:02:28
ignore that for this exercise the second
00:02:31
is connect multiple Airbnb listings now
00:02:33
this is the option we need to go in this
00:02:35
option will only appear when you have
00:02:37
multiple listings in your Airbnb profile
00:02:40
if you just have one listing you won't
00:02:42
see this option right let's just go in
00:02:44
there now as soon as you click on that
00:02:46
the next screen prompts you to choose
00:02:47
the main listing in my case I will say
00:02:50
this is my main house and then it
00:02:52
prompts me to enter the two rooms in
00:02:54
that so I will say this and this these
00:02:57
two rooms are part of the main house and
00:03:00
then you just click on link calendars
00:03:02
that is all you need to do from your end
00:03:05
main listing is this and the link
00:03:08
calendars are these two from this point
00:03:10
onwards everything else will be taken
00:03:12
care of by Airbnb which means if you
00:03:14
receive a booking for the main house it
00:03:17
will automatically block your calendar
00:03:19
for these two listings or if you receive
00:03:22
a booking for any of these two listings
00:03:24
it will block the main house for
00:03:26
bookings but it will keep the other room
00:03:28
open for it I I hope you find this video
