We're excited to announce our newest integration partner, Guest Check by Good to Book! Guest Check is guest intelligence software for Short Term Accommodation Providers.

Designed to identify problematic, disrespectful guests, causing disruption, destruction and harm to other guests and staff — GTB refers to them as Rogue Guests. 

Completely integrated with Resly, Guest Check helps Good to Book Members identify vulnerabilities before they occur, giving them more time to manage their good guests for great stays.

Their network of authorised accommodation providers share a common goal — provide excellent accommodation and guest services, free from Rogue Guests.

What does that mean for you?

First off - Resly is covering your membership fees! Yes, included in your Resly subscription is a Good To Book membership. 

Guest Check provides automated alerts and reports, so you can focus on running your business. And because they're Australian & New Zealand Privacy Law compliant, you can be confident your data is in good hands.

We think this is a great addition to our existing suite of integrations, and we hope you find it as useful as we do!

How to activate your membership? Its easy, in Resly go to Settings > Integrations > Click on Good to Book > The details should auto fill so just click 'Sign up' and you are done! 

As always we welcome your feedback!

Sam, Rico and the rest of the team @ Resly 

We are wanting to expand our network of relief managers, so managers can go on a break knowing their properties are in good hands. 

If you know of any relief managers that might want to be listed in our network, please comment on this post with their contact details. 

We provide complimentary training to all relief managers to ensure they are competent with Resly. 

Thanks in advance! 

On the 26th of February, Expedia notified properties of changes to their Virtual Credit Cards and the way they account for their commissions moving forward. 

Expedia Virtual Cards (Expedia Collect) bookings are now sent with the full amount and the net amount (after commission) is recorded in the booking comments. Expedia's commission is then invoiced (just like Hotel Collect) at the end of the month. 

This email seem to be missed by a few hotels, which has meant they did not notify Expedia to keep VCC bookings as net, or update their settings in Resly. 

Please check your Expedia Collect bookings to make sure the commission is accounted for correctly. 

In most cases you will need to change the Expedia VCC agent to now calculate commission %. Go to Settings > General > Agents > Edit > Include the commission calculation > Save. 

If in doubt you can reach out to Expedia Partner Support and ask to be reverted back to the old VCC. 

We have encountered an error while posting updates to Agoda YCS. 

Updates are not passing through and we are receiving an error saying, - "Authentication failed: The supplied authentication is invalid" from Agoda.

We have checked the details on our side and issue tends to be at Agoda's end. We raised the issue overnight and are working with Agoda to get the connection live again. 

Agoda should be managed via their extranet manually until the connection is back.
