Airbnb advance notice setting VS Booking Manager

    Good morning,

    I come to report a recent issue.

    Since fews weeks, my WP website reccord empty reservations from Airbnb at the hour every day (00:00).

    When I check what happens is the common settings on the given logdings on airbnb, I see that they share “advance notice setting“

    This setting set a logding unbookable if the delay is within range we decided.

    EG

    If you set : Calendar availability / Advance notice / At least 1 day’s notice

    It means you can’t book a room the for the same day as today.

    What happens then, is that, during synchronisation, the unbookable dates are red as booked by the plugin. And it create a reservation on the website.

    So, the big problems are that :

    • the plugin create several false reservations
    • We cannot have different advance notice setting policys of between platforms (because it create reservations on the webseite that are then sent to other platforms as such).

    Is there a parameter in the plugin that can be used to fix this ?

    Is this a known bug ?

    Thanks for your answers

    Regards

    Murelh

    Hey @murelh,

    This is a known issue and there’s not much we can do about it.

    You could try adding this code to your theme’s functions.php file to subtract a day from the start and end dates for imported bookings.

    add_filter('wpbs_ical_import_from_url_offset_end', function (){
    return '-1 day';
});

add_filter('wpbs_ical_import_from_url_offset_start', function (){
    return '+1 day';
});

    Thanks for you answer and solution, @murgroland

    I have to confess that i am a bit scared by your suggestion as it might have an effect with the the real bookings that i would like to import.

    I will let it that way, knowing that it is a known bug.

    An other solution would be to do not import reservations with empty names.

    Mine are always translated as “Airbnb (Not available)”. It can be a good indicator of a false reservations.

    Thank you

    You can add the code and if it doesn’t work you can remove it, it will revert back to the original state.
