Do I Need an iCal?

Do I Need an iCal?

Generally, yes.

Unless you are sufficient large enough to have spare capacity (you have more than 15 rooms) and have given us free-sale rights you will need to provide us with:

  • your iCal, or 
  • free feed from an API-integrated Channel Management partner.

 

With an automatic feed there is much less chance of overbookings.  

Overbookings can easily result in a booking not going ahead at all.  it's a problem for everyone that often results in a Stay being delisted from Nomad Stays and facing significant costs to become listed again

With free-sale you give us the right to automatically make bookings without confirming availability with you or any other source.

 

When you applied for listing you were accepted on the basis of having a live availability system, or large enough to offer free sale.

What Happens if I don't have an iCal?

For larger Stays (more than 20 rooms in total) that have given us free-sale rights, we offer an Extranet facility at Nomad Stays.  

Our Extranet allows you to manage your own inventory directly with us.

The Extranet system is open to Stays with more than 20 rooms in total who have given us free-sale rights.

If you don't have an iCal, and are not eligible for free-sale, then we're sorry but we can't list you.  Instant booking is too important.
