Greetings Roomoramates!

Just in time for the upcoming holidays, the Roomorama team is proud to unveil its latest enhancements to our website.  These are designed to help manage your property’s (ies’) Availability, Rates and Description.

Availability Enhancements

• New yearly and monthly calendar views to manage your availability, and an agenda view to show you upcoming stays in chronological order.
• A simplified way to set availability on your calendar in yearly or monthly view:

-Click on a day in the calendar to pick a start date.

-Click another day to set the end date of the period you want to edit.

-A popup will show up, allowing you to set availability for that period.

Rates Enhancements

• A new dedicated Rates page with the capability to set “usual” rates as well as any number of “seasonal” rate periods throughout the year.
• Rates can now be set based on a number of guests, with surcharges for additional guests.
• Taxes and Miscellaneous charges are now one click away if you wish to display them to your guests.

Description Enhancements

Please take a few minutes to fill in the following information:

• Enter the number of available bathrooms.
• Check new available amenities.
• Make sure to specify your own conditions (especially Smoking allowed, Children friendly, Pet Friendly).
• What floor is the property on? What is the property size? What bed types do you provide? You can now answer to all those questions once now so that guests won’t ask you again in the future.
• A new section for extra services not included in the final rate.

For Multiple Property Owners

• By selecting the “Multi-Edit” button (only if you have more than one property listed) on top right of Host Activity > My Properties page, you can now make changes apply to some/ all of for your properties at once.

For Certified Hosts

• Please be aware that the procedure for certified hosts to upload a cancellation policy has changed. If you wish Roomorama to abide by your cancellation policy instead of the standard one (see here) please follow these instructions:

-We now require all custom cancellation policies to be submitted to us via the template available in your Host Activity > My properties > Manage > Description page (look under Conditions).  Find more information on how to upload your cancellation policy/policies here.

-To simplify the transition process for you, if you wish us to add a cancellation policy on your behalf, please send it to info@roomorama.com indicating your username and the properties (one, all, some) it applies to.
