How to Create and Manage Offline Reservations
Learn how to create, edit, and manage offline reservations in Homeyhuts. Record bookings received through phone calls, WhatsApp, walk-ins, social media, or your own website to keep your calendar updated and prevent double bookings.
How to Create and Manage Offline Reservations
Offline reservations allow you to record bookings received outside online travel platforms, such as phone calls, WhatsApp, Instagram, your own website, walk-in guests, or repeat customers. Once added, these bookings appear alongside your OTA reservations in the Unified Calendar, helping you manage availability from one place and avoid double bookings.
Before You Begin
Make sure you are logged in to your Homeyhuts account and have access to the property for which you want to create the reservation.

- Log in to your Homeyhuts account.
- Click the three-line menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Host Control Centre.
Step 2: Open the Calendar
Navigate to the Calendar from your dashboard.
Step 3: Start an Offline Booking
There are two ways to create an offline reservation:
Option 1: Create a Booking from the Calendar

Option 2: Use the Create Offline Booking Button

- Open the reservation.
- Click Cancel Booking.
- Update the payment or refund details if required.
Once cancelled, the blocked dates become available again across Homeyhuts and all connected OTAs.

Why Use Offline Reservations?
Recording offline reservations helps you:
- Keep all bookings in one place.
- Prevent double bookings across connected OTAs.
- Maintain an accurate occupancy calendar.
