Why Real-Time Sync Matters 

Manual calendar updates often lead to overbookings, lost revenue, and unhappy guests. Real-time synchronization ensures that once a reservation is confirmed on one platform, all other listings immediately reflect the change, no overlaps, no surprises. 

What You’ll Need 

– A Homeyhuts account (sign up at Homeyhuts.in) 

– Active listings on at least one connected OTA (Airbnb, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda, Trip.com, Expedia) 

– A complete listing on Homeyhuts (name, location, photos, minimum-stay rules) 

Step-by-Step Setup in 5 Minutes 

1. Log In and Open the Dashboard 
2. Navigate to your Homeyhuts host control center on desktop or mobile and select properties. 
3. Add Your Property 
4. Click + New Listing, enter your property’s name, address, and images, then set minimum-stay and buffer-day rules. 
5. Request to connect with other OTAs, Homeyhuts team will assist with one time setup and once connected you will be able to manage pricing and availability from Homeyhuts app. 
6. Real-Time Sync 
7. After linking, Real-Time Sync will be enabled for all connected OTAs like, Airbnb, Homeyhuts, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda, Trip.com, and Expedia. 
8. Verify Sync Status 
9. In Channel Overview, ensure each OTA shows a green checkmark, indicating live sync. Use Test Sync by creating a mock blocking on one OTA; confirm it appears instantly in the Homeyhuts calendar and blocks dates on all other channels. 

Preventing Double Bookings 

Homeyhuts locks inventory across every connected OTA within milliseconds of a reservation. If simultaneous bookings occur, you’ll receive a conflict alert with options to auto-adjust or confirm which reservation to honor. Mobile push notifications keep you informed of new bookings and conflicts on the go.

Pro Tips for Smooth Synchronization 

– Match minimum-stay and buffer settings in Homeyhuts to your OTA listings exactly. 

– Treat the Homeyhuts calendar as the single source of truth avoid manual edits on individual OTA dashboards.
