Why Keeping Your Calendar Up to Date Is Important
At Sun & Sea Holidays, we work with a wide network of booking platforms. For this reason, it is essential that your property’s availability is always up to date – this applies to all owners, regardless of the selected subscription.
Consequences of an outdated calendar
An incorrect or outdated calendar may lead to:
-
Double bookings and disappointed guests
-
Cancellations and potentially negative reviews
-
Lower visibility in booking platform search results
-
In serious cases, your listing may be temporarily taken offline
An inaccurate calendar has a direct impact on your revenue, reputation, and visibility.
Penalties for cancellations
If a reservation must be cancelled because the calendar was not correctly updated, the booking platform may impose a penalty fee. These costs will be charged to the owner.
Note: the amount of these fees varies per platform and may increase depending on the timing of the cancellation.
