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:
Reservations
Changing a reservation is not possible if the listing is inactive.
Billing
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.
Automation
Deactivating a listing will deactivate all automation and calendar features such as Smart Calendar Rules. Reactivating the listing doesn't reactivate Smart Calendar Rules.
Booking channels integrations
A deactivated listing still appears in connected booking channels. To remove the listing from channels, unlist it before deactivating.
Reporting and analytics
- 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.
