When a property is "listed" on a booking channel, it appears in search results, and guests can book it. By default, new properties in Guesty are set to "Listed" status. You can temporarily unlist a property to make it unbookable—for example, during maintenance periods.
Unlisting won't stop billing (you must deactivate the listing to stop charges) and only affects booking channels, not your Guesty calendar—you can still create manual reservations or blocks. You can only relist a listing if it remains activated.
Use snooze publishing to automatically list or unlist properties on specific days and times.
Channel-specific information
Airbnb
- When importing a listing from Airbnb, the listing in Guesty retains the same listed status as in Airbnb (if unlisted in Airbnb, it remains unlisted in Guesty).
- Once connected, manage listing status through Guesty—changes will sync to Airbnb automatically.
- If you unlist directly in Airbnb, the change won't reflect in Guesty, but the listing will become unlisted on Airbnb.
- Disconnecting an Airbnb listing from Guesty won't unlist or deactivate it in Airbnb—you must handle this directly in your Airbnb account.
- If Airbnb suspends your listing for policy violations, it remains active and connected in Guesty with continued billing. The listing won't be bookable on Airbnb but will show as listed in Guesty. Contact Airbnb Support for assistance
Vrbo
Manage listing status via Guesty, following the steps below. Changes take up to 24 hours to reflect in Vrbo.
Important:
Once you have connected your listing to Guesty, don't pause or hide the listing in Vrbo. If you do so and then make it active again, it will not automatically sync back with Guesty and may cause double bookings. Instead, unlist the listing to ensure the integration remains intact, and the calendar stays updated across all channels.
List or unlist for all channels
Follow the instructions below to list or unlist a listing on all its connected channels, including Guesty Booking Website.
Step by step:
- If Guesty's snooze publishing feature is activated for the listing, deactivate it to prevent automatic listing changes.
- Sign in to your Guesty account.
- In the top navigation bar, click Listings.
- Click the relevant listing.
- In the left-side menu, click Marketing.
- From the dropdown menu, select List on channels.
- Click Edit next to "Status on booking channels".
- To list or unlist on all channels, toggle on or off List on booking channels.
- In the pop-up, click Start listing or Pause listing. If the listing is deactivated and you're trying to list it, check the I agree to activate and start listing box.
- Click Save.
Once your listings are listed on Booking.com, you can proceed to connect your Booking.com account and listings to Guesty.
Unlist or relist for an individual channel
Currently, you can only list or unlist a listing across all connected channels simultaneously. To manage specific channels:
- Airbnb: Unlist the listing in your Airbnb account (it won't reflect on Guesty). Relist directly in Airbnb when ready.
- Booking.com: Disconnect the listing from the integration page in Guesty. Reconnect to Booking.com when ready to relist.
- Vrbo: It's not recommended to unlist specifically from Vrbo, as this may cause synchronization issues when relisting.
