I have an existing Airbnb listing, can I connect it to Little Hotelier?

Yes, you can connect your existing Airbnb listing to Little Hotelier.

Will my Airbnb listing automatically sync if I connect it to Little Hotelier?

If you have an existing Airbnb listing, and have settings already configured via Airbnb’s extranet, you can choose to Sync everything or only Sync pricing and availability when you map to Airbnb for the first time.

Once you have connected and mapped your listing, if certain settings are changed via the Airbnb extranet, you may only be able to make updates via Airbnb, and any changes made in Little Hotelier will not sync to Airbnb. You can check and edit your sync preferences in the Airbnb extranet in Listing > select your listing > Filters icon > Edit preferences > Property management software.

Can I connect more than one Airbnb listing to Little Hotelier?

Yes, you can connect multiple Airbnb listings to the same account, if they belong to the same host and share the same address.

Can I have more than one Airbnb host account connected to Little Hotelier?

No, you can only have one Airbnb host account connected to Little Hotelier.

Can I connect one Airbnb host account to multiple Little Hotelier accounts?

Yes, you can connect one Airbnb host account to multiple Little Hotelier accounts. However, there are limitations when connecting more than one Little Hotelier account to the same Airbnb account.

To disconnect an Airbnb account from Little Hotelier, you may need to disconnect it from all connected Little Hotelier accounts first due to how Airbnb host IDs are assigned.

You should only connect listings at the same address for each account.

Does my listing fit the Airbnb standards for hotels and other hospitality businesses?

You can read the Airbnb standards for hotels and other hospitality businesses here. If your property doesn’t meet Airbnb’s standards, Airbnb will not set your property live.

Will I keep my superhost status and reviews when connecting my Airbnb listing to Little Hotelier?

Yes, you will keep your superhost status and reviews when connecting your Airbnb listing to your account.

Do I need to accept the 'Instant Book' feature on Airbnb to connect to my Little Hotelier account?

By connecting Airbnb to Little Hotelier, your property listing will be instantly bookable. This means guests can book your property without needing your approval. Remember to configure the type of guests allowed, and review your instant book welcome message.

I am logged into my Airbnb account, but it’s not being recognised?

If you are logged into your Airbnb account, but Little Hotelier is not recognising it, please check the following:

  • Login: ensure you are logged in to the correct Airbnb host account

  • Profile: check that your Airbnb profile is complete, including a profile picture, email address, phone number and work email

Why am I getting an ‘Account is already connected’ error?

Here are some potential reasons why:

  • Signing into the wrong Airbnb host account: if you manage multiple Airbnb accounts, make sure you are logged in to the correct account in a separate tab

  • Clear your browser’s cache and cookies: clearing your cache and cookies may help as a workaround. You can try using a different browser to connect Airbnb, or log in using an incognito window.

  • Airbnb host account was connected with your account in the past: if your Airbnb host account used to be connected to Little Hotelier, disconnect the Airbnb account before reconnecting again

To disconnect your Airbnb account:

  1. In the Airbnb extranet, click on your profile picture at the top right corner

  2. Go to Account > Privacy and Sharing

  3. Scroll down to see your Connected App

  4. Click on Remove access
