If you have multiple listings that overlap, you can link their calendars on Guesty For Hosts to create a "family" hierarchy and prevent double bookings.
For example: Listing 1 is an entire home, and Listing 2 is a room inside that home. You want to link their calendars and identify Listing 1 as the "parent" and Listing 2 as the "child". If a reservation is made for Listing 2, the calendar for Listing 1 is automatically blocked, and vice versa.
Limitations
Only reservations are synced for linked listings. Listing settings, like preparation time or booking window, are not synced.
Only reservations will automatically block a linked listing's calendar. If you manually block dates in the calendar for a listing, the calendar for any linked listings will remain open.
If you manually open dates for a listing, and a linked listing has a reservation during these dates, a pop-up warning will appear. If you click "continue" to open the dates, this can result in a double booking.
