This will save you time and effort in the future.

Bug fixes

- We're happy to let you know that we've resolved an issue that you might have experienced when clicking on one of your contacts among your VRBO bookings.

- We understand you were having trouble creating quotes from your booking inquiries due to an error. However, we've made some adjustments and you should be able to create quotes with ease now.
- There was an issue where the booking status would go straight to "Booked" after accepting a booking request.

What’s new
- Three verbs: Copy, Call and Add. In the upcoming month, we’ll provide you with 3 new ways of interacting with your guests’ contacts. When you see a guest’s phone number from the booking overview in Calendar, you will have direct options to call them, copy their number, and even add them to your phone’s address book. And stay tuned because these options will soon be available in other sections of the app!
- You tap on a reservation from Booking.com on your Calendar and hit the link below the URL section to edit it directly from their website. Who says you can only do that from Lodgify’s web version? Now you can also access this option from the mobile app!
- Ready to show excitement? Now we support symbols like “!”.
Bug fixes
- The omission of the checkout day in iCal blocks on your Calendar was not the expected behavior… Luckily, now dates are being shown correctly!
- Here’s the thing: you went to check the booking details for a specific request, clicked on the button “Create quote” and it was impossible to add a quote to the reservation because the screen froze… Gee, what a situation! We are happy to say that we have already fixed this.

What’s new
- The more details, the better. Now you can add notes from Default rates to share additional information about your rates and policies with your guests.
- Yes/No question: Can you create a booking in your Calendar even if an iCall booking already exists for that period? Yes, of course, you can!
- Restricted or not restricted? That is the question! Now you can set which are the days allowed from the check-in/check-out restriction page.
- Easily copy your messages from your Inbox by holding on to the text.
- Where was I…? If the last time you viewed the Calendar you selected the Multi view, you’ll land there every time you get back to it. And the same thing goes if you selected the Single view. But no worries, you can switch at any time!
- Your filters are there to stay! If you have applied any filters from the Calendar view to check for specific rentals, those filters will still be taken into account even if you switch tabs.
- Because your User ID is so important! You can easily find it now by clicking on your avatar from the top right-corner menu.

Bug fixes
- When creating new reservations with quotes, you will notice that the toggle to activate and deactivate policies now works correctly.
- The add-ons of the reservations were taken into account in the total price, but they needed to be broken down in the quote list.
- The language was not shown when opening a reservation from the Calendar to check out the details. We have fixed it so that this field is reported correctly.
- The lower menu was stuck to the keyboard whenever you wanted to perform a search. The menu is hidden behind the keyboard so you can type without distractions.
- When you created a booking by adding a rental with minimum stay a message appeared specifying the minimum number of days... And when you added a rental without minimum stay the same message still appeared, which was a bit confusing. We have fixed this so that the message only appears when necessary.
- If you switched between Multi and Single view when selecting dates in the Calendar to create a booking, the footer, and the menu to create a booking collided, but now it's fixed!
- Do not fear! Now reservations will load properly after you send a payment request.
- Finally, you can send and receive messages without any problem!
- So, here’s the thing: you were not able to create a booking with a check-in date that coincided with the check-out date of another booking, and this was sort of annoying. But if you try this out now, you’ll see it’s been fixed.
- The filter indicator was not displayed if you left the Calendar, but after some adjustments, we have made sure that it is still displayed.
