Add a booking from outside LocalBook

Did a guest call or write to you directly? Enter the booking in LocalBook. The dates are taken in the calendar and in the export to portals, the same as for a stay from the form.

Add a booking

1. Open Requests.
2. Click Add a booking.
3. Enter the arrival, the departure, the number of guests and the guest's full name. The phone and the e-mail are optional.
4. Choose where the booking came from: Phone, E-mail, Facebook or Other.
5. Choose the status:
   • Confirmed — the dates are taken now.
   • Awaiting deposit — LocalBook calculates the deposit and the due date from the property's deposit settings. Enter the agreed price.
6. Click Add booking.

The booking is in the list with its source, for example Phone. Later you can cancel it or mark the deposit as received, like any other stay.

E-mails to the guest

LocalBook sends the guest no e-mails about a booking from outside the form: no confirmation, no deposit reminders and no cancellation notice. You handle the contact.

When the dates are taken

If another stay or a block already takes these dates, you see a message and the booking is not saved. Check the property's calendar.
