New Control Over Minimum Stay Rules Across Seasons
We’ve added a powerful new option in the Global Settings area of the Rates Table, giving you greater flexibility in how minimum stay rules are applied for bookings that span multiple seasons.
For example, if a guest checks in during High Season 1, which has a 7-night minimum, and checks out during Low Season, which has a 3-night minimum, the system will now follow the rule you set-either applying the higher or lower minimum stay value.
This added control helps you align stay requirements with your strategy, whether you want to maximize occupancy, optimize revenue, or find the right balance.
Link Multiple Websites to Your 365Villas Account
We’re excited to introduce a feature that allows you to link multiple websites to a single 365Villas account.
This is especially useful if you manage different segments of your rental portfolio, such as high-end villas and standard vacation rentals, and want to market them separately. You can now connect two or more websites to the same account, each showcasing a different subset of your properties.
For example, one website can feature your full portfolio, another can focus on luxury properties, and a third might highlight standard rentals. You have the flexibility to use the same website template across all linked sites or choose different templates for each, depending on your branding needs.
Bookings will be clearly identified by their source website, giving you greater insight into your marketing performance. Each property can be listed on one, several, or all of your websites. This functionality is available if you’re using a 365Villas website or have built your website using our API.
Coming Soon: Easier Damage Deposit Collection for Channel Bookings
We’re introducing a new feature to simplify the collection of damage deposits for bookings from channels like Booking.com and Expedia, which often provide a virtual credit card that can only be charged for the reservation amount.
This makes it difficult to collect additional payments or place holds for damage deposits. Our upcoming feature solves this problem by automatically sending a message to the guest when a deposit or hold is due, prompting them to complete the payment or validate a new credit card.
This automation helps you stay protected, ensures a smooth guest experience, and reduces your workload.
