You can deactivate and reactivate a listing at any time. When a listing gets activated, Guesty will manage the listing, and billing for the listing will start. If you wish to stop the billing for your listing for a while, but not to delete it permanently, you can deactivate it.
Learn about the different ways to disable a listing in Guesty.
Deactivate a listing
Note the following before deactivating a listing:
Changing a reservation is not possible if the listing is inactive.
Confirmed reservations made before listing deactivation are billed regardless of the check-in date. To avoid being billed for a listing for a specific month, deactivate the listing before the end of the previous month. If a listing is deactivated mid-month, you will still be billed for the full month.
Deactivating a listing will deactivate all automation and calendar features, such as Smart Calendar Rules. Reactivating the listing doesn't reactivate Smart Calendar Rules.
A deactivated listing still appears in connected booking channels. To remove the listing from channels, unlist it before deactivating.
Reservations will not appear in custom reports for deactivated listings, and the deactivated listing will no longer appear in the Multi-Calendar.
Deactivating a listing removes its data from Analytics.
