How to edit dates of stay in a reservation

Change the arrival or departure date of a reservation, room by room, from the booking details. Covers what can't be changed — past dates, OTA bookings, deleted rate plans, invoiced nights — and how price and city tax update.

Overview

You can change the arrival and departure dates of a reservation from its booking details. Dates are edited room by room, so on a multi-room booking you can extend one guest's stay without touching the others — the booking then becomes a split booking.

When you confirm, Amenitiz recalculates the room price and the city tax for the new nights.


Before you start

  • No past dates. You can't move a date into the past. Once the guest has checked in, the arrival date is fixed — you can still change the departure.

  • OTA reservations can't be edited in Amenitiz (Vrbo is the exception). Ask the guest to change the dates on the OTA, or change them in the OTA's extranet — the change reaches Amenitiz automatically through the channel manager.

  • Deleted rate plans. If the rate plan used for the booking has been deleted, the dates can't be changed. Create a new reservation with the right dates instead.

  • Invoiced nights. If the nights you want to change are already on an invoice, Amenitiz refuses the change.


Step by step

  1. Open the reservation — from Reservations in the sidebar or from the calendar — to see its booking details.

  2. In the list of rooms, click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the room you want to change and select Edit room's dates.

  3. Pick the new arrival and/or departure date. Amenitiz checks that the room is available for the new dates.

  4. Click Confirm dates of stay.

On a multi-room booking, repeat these steps for each room you want to move.


FAQs

How do I move all the rooms of a booking at once?

Change each room's dates one after the other, using the steps above. The other rooms keep their dates until you edit them.


Will the price update when I change the dates?

Yes. The room price is recalculated from the rate plan for the new nights, and the new total appears on the booking once you confirm. To charge a different amount afterwards, see how to modify the price of a reservation.


What happens to the city tax, extras and payments?

The city tax is recalculated for the new nights. Extras are not adjusted, so check them after the change. Payments already recorded stay on the booking.


Why can't I edit the dates of this reservation?

It is usually one of these: the reservation came from an OTA, its rate plan has been deleted, the nights are already invoiced, or you're trying to move a date into the past. The message on screen tells you which one applies.


Does a date change in Amenitiz update the reservation on Booking.com?

No. Booking.com and other OTA reservations can't be edited in Amenitiz — the dates are changed on the OTA's side and the update arrives in Amenitiz automatically.


Can I change the dates by dragging the booking in the calendar?

No. Amenitiz doesn't change dates when you drag a booking in the calendar. To change them, open the booking details and follow the steps above.
