Manage Multi-Unit Accommodations on Airbnb with Avantio Channel PRO
List multiple units under a single listing on Airbnb. If you manage vacation apartments in the same building, rooms in the same accommodation, or properties that share a gallery, you can now easily sync them thanks to multi-unit compatibility.
What is Multi-Unit?
It's the ability to list multiple independent units under a single Airbnb listing, sharing a photo gallery. Examples:
A building with several similar apartments.
A hostel with separate rooms.
Several studios at the same address.
Previously, Airbnb limited this type of configuration: it only accepted one booking per date, even if more availability existed. With the update, you can now receive as many bookings as there are units available on those dates.
Advantages of Multi-Unit
Complete two-way synchronization: inventory, rates, content, and availability.
Greater flexibility: you can sell multiple units of the same type under a single listing.
Efficiency: avoid unnecessary calendar blocks, maximizing your occupancy.
👉 Example: if you have a listing with 2 units and receive a booking from July 1 to 14, you can still receive another booking for the same dates.
How it Works in Avantio
The Avantio content API connects with Airbnb and automatically sends:
Number of units available each day.
Real-time prices and availability.
Room inventory synchronization.
This way, management is simplified and manual errors are reduced.
Important Limitations
The functionality is not compatible with the "House" type on Airbnb (this is a restriction of the portal itself).
It does work with other types like apartment, private room, or studio.
Best Practices
Review photo galleries: ensure they correctly reflect the type of unit, so guests understand they can book one of several similar options.
Define availability well: keep the number of units in Avantio updated to avoid overbookings.
Explain in the description: inform the guest that the listing corresponds to a set of units and that the photos are representative.
Common Mistakes
Thinking that multi-unit applies to individual houses (it is not compatible).
Not updating the inventory in Avantio, which can cause discrepancies on Airbnb.
Using unclear descriptions that confuse guests.
