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.

Rentals United sums up all the <bedroom> elements and sets this number as the overall number of bedrooms at the property.

Number of bathrooms

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

Rentals United sums up all the <bathroom> elements of the <roomSubType>FULL_BATH</roomSubType> type and sets this number as the overall number of bathrooms at the property.

Number of toilets

Number of toilets refers to the overall number of WCs.

Rentals United sums up all the <bathroom> elements of the <roomSubType>HALF_BATH</roomSubType> type and sets this number as the overall number of toilets at the property.

Kitchen
