Set up adults only or age restrictions on your direct booking engine

How to set up age settings and restrict direct bookings to guests above a certain age.

Updated today

If your property only allows adults, or doesn't allow children under a certain age, you can configure your direct booking settings to restrict booking to guests above a certain age.

Hide child and infant options

If you don't allow children or infants, you can hide the child and infant options on your direct booking engine.

When you hide child or infant age categories, these options won't appear on your direct booking website. Guests cannot add children or infants to their booking.

  1. Go to My apps > Direct Booking > Setup > Property > General

  2. Scroll to Maximum room occupancy section

  3. To remove the children selector from your booking engine: Tick "Hide child selector on your Direct booking engine"

  4. To remove the infant selector from your booking engine: Tick "Hide infant selector on your Direct booking engine"

  5. Click Save

For connected channels(OTAs): To set up adults only or age restrictions on connected channels (OTAs), you need to configure this directly with each channel. Contact each channel or log in to their extranet to set up adults only restrictions.
