# Hotelbeds

Connect Hotelbeds (Maxiroom) to Hostel Mate: enable Channex in Maxiroom, authenticate in Hostel Mate, map rooms and rates, then test a small price change to confirm syncing.

## Prerequisites

* Maxiroom extranet access
* Rooms and rates ready in Hostel Mate

## 1) Enable the Connection in Maxiroom

1. Log in to Maxiroom
2. Choose Channex as the channel manager
3. If Channex isn’t listed, open a support ticket with Hotelbeds

## 2) Finalize in Hostel Mate

1. Open Channel Manager in Hostel Mate
2. Select Hotelbeds and authenticate if needed
3. Map rooms and rates

## Verify and Test

* Push a small price change and confirm in Maxiroom

## Troubleshooting

* Provider missing: ask Hotelbeds support to add Channex for your property

## Last step: pull your existing bookings

The connection only delivers *new* bookings. The reservations already on the platform need to come across too, otherwise your other channels keep selling beds that are taken. See [Pull Future Reservations](/channel-mapping-guides/pull-future-reservations.md) — it's one click and it's the step people skip.
