🔀Channel Mapping Guides
Connect your property to leading OTAs and bedbanks. Each guide covers prerequisites, the exact steps to connect, and what to check afterwards.
Before You Start
Set prices for the months ahead. A date with no price won't be sold on any channel.
Gather your OTA property IDs and login access
Disable any old/syncing iCal connections on that channel

General Connection Setup: the step-by-step for connecting any channel, with a checklist and fixes for common errors
What Hostel Mate Controls: prices and availability come from us; promotions, cancellation policies and your listing are set on the OTA
Pull Future Reservations: do this right after you connect (Hostelworld: Import Bookings)
Full Sync: when a platform stops matching Hostel Mate
Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda and most others are set up in Channel Manager. Hostelworld, Mixdorm and Coworksurf connect directly, from Channel Selection.
