Units Available

Each Room Type has a number of units available as full inventory. This number defines the number of times that the same room type can be booked on the same dates.

The remaining availability is calculated by taking the number of bookings received on the dates requested. VikBooking does not have an inventory for each date of the year but rather a full inventory number and the bookings lowering (or closing) the availability on certain dates. This will let you save time and the system will not require to maintained periodically for uploading the inventory on future dates. The system knows what's the full availability of the room type and how many types this has been booked on certain dates.

If your property is listed on some OTAs (like Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Airbnb etc.), it is important to keep the same room types/properties configuration as on the OTA. This way, if you will ever decide to use Vik Channel Manager, the availability synchronization will work smoothly.

Single Apartments, Villas or Vacation Houses that can only be booked once on the same dates, should always have 1 unit as units available for full inventory.
Hotels having multiple units of the same room type (like Single, Double, Double Deluxe, Triple etc.), should group them into one room type with multiple units available.
