Step 2: Amenities

Rentals United retrieves also basic information about the property's layout, number and composition of rooms, as well as amenities available at the property.

The property amenities are mapped between PMS and Rentals United. However, please note that not all of them can be successfully mapped, as they appear variously for PMS and Rentals United. If you want to learn the details of the mapped amenities, it is possible to request a full summary of mappings. In order to do that, contact the Rentals United Support Team.

Rentals United also offers various options to synchronize the amenities from your PMS. For more information, please see PMS Settings.

Number of bedrooms

Number of bedrooms refers to the overall number of rooms intended to sleep.

Number of bathrooms

Number of bathrooms refers to the overall number of bathing rooms with a shower or a bath.

Number of toilets

Number of toilets refers to the overall number of WCs. In the case of toilets, they are synchronized if the Number of bathrooms set in Bookerville is not an integer number, for example 0.5 or 1.1. Whenever the decimal values is present, one toilet will be created.

Kitchen

Kitchen refers to the separated kitchen area within the property. If you tick the separate kitchen checkbox, then a kitchen room type will be created at your property. In Rentals United it is treated as a room type.

Bed types (N/A)

This element is not synchronized. In case it is mandatory to connect to some Sales Channels or you want to have this information filled in for your property, switch off the synchronisation of this element and update this information directly in the Rentals United platform. Note that if you switch the synchronisation on again, whatever you have in Rentals United will be overwritten with the data from your PMS again.

Amenities distribution across rooms

Bookerville does not provide a feature to distribute amenities across rooms, hence all amenities are available in the General section. However, the property layout is preserved when synchronized to Rentals United.

Note: The Bedroom, Bathroom, WC and Kitchen room types are created according to Number of bedrooms, Number of bathrooms, Number of toilets and Kitchen. No other room types are created.

Bookerville provides two elements: <Suitability> and <Amenities> nodes from which amenities are synchronized.

Tip: Amenity is considered as existing in property when the value parameter for this node is set to "yes" or to a number. If the "yes" value is present, only one amenity is created in Rentals United. If the value is set to a number, e.g. "2", then two amenities of this type will be created.
