How Many Rooms Do I Allocate?

You'll want to allocate at least one room/bed all the time to ensure you remain listed on the site. (You're listing will disappear as a booking option if there's nothing we can sell.) Several rooms allocated will mean that when we sell the first one we will automatically have another to sell. This opens up the possibity of groups of friends booking together for instance.

Can I list for only part of the year?

Can I list for only part of the year? Yes, you can, but you run the risk of your page being deactivated if there's nothing available to book in the coming months. Your page will also be ranked below Stays that are open more of the year. As can be seen on each Stay page the availability for the coming months is listed for all members to see. Without much availability Members are more likely to bypass your offerings.

Why Can't I Delete a Blocked Date?

Why Can't I Delete a Blocked Period? I can't see the Delete Button near my blocked periods Answer: You are probably using an iCal availability feed from another party.

As the blocked dates do not originate in our extranet system you must edit the master source at the other party to change the feed into Nomad Stays. We 'hide' the delete button from your page,...

Editing Your Rooms

How Block Out Periods Work

Shortcut Help > Any dates listed in the Block Out Periods are completely blocked to Nomad Stays booking engine. Background You'll recall that Nomad Stays works on an "instant booking" basis. Which means a nomad can book and confirm a room package instantly if we have a room available to sell.

To become listed, you will have already given us a regular quantity of roo...

Different Configuration Rooms

Different Configuration Rooms All your rooms of a certain type may not be the same configuration. For instance a hostel might have 4 bed dorms and 10 bed dorms. A gite might have 1 double room with 2 beds and another with only 1. The trick here is to use the 'description' box on your updates to let us know which room you're referring to. We may use this description in the promotion of the prices to ensure guests know exactly what they're getting. TIP: Try to describe the minimum room co...
