Pre-sale question: I need to indicate different rates depending on the season, is this possible? I didn’t find it in your documentation. However, this option is necessary for room rentals. Kind regards.
Yes, the Homey theme does support different rates depending on the season. You can set up seasonal pricing for your room rentals, allowing you to specify different rates for different time periods. This feature enables you to adjust the pricing based on peak seasons, off-peak seasons, holidays, or any other specific time frames.
Thank you for your answer, can you show a screenshot of this feature…Because i read the documentation and never saw this, and i don’t know where is

Thank you, but no one has answered my simple question by e-mail.
I find it strange that the question I raised has already been asked, and that all the time you have to check with the support and who doesn’t answer …
Thank you for a great theme which I have been using for the past few years. I do have the following requests again. Please can you include in the next update the option to remove the “weekends”and additional guests” to prevent them from displaying under the “custom period pricing” section on the property listing if they have not been given a value? Additionally please can you have the number of ADULTS and CHILDREN displayed on the reservation request not just the number of guests? We require the count of adults and children for each booking and currently the theme combines the number of adults and children provided by the guest when inquiring and only displays a total guest count? Is it possible that the reservations can be edited. Currently if the booking dates change, you have to cancel the reservation and re-book it? This then displays to the guest that their booking was cancelled, rather then the dates only being changed? Lastly, is it possible to make the custom period pricing values editable? Currently you have to delete them and redo them should you wish to change the prices? Thank you.
We will try to add
Hi, Pre-Sales questions:
1.- It´s possible to sync with Airbnb? I read that it´s possible via ical, but my question what´s the minimum amount of time to sync? I mean it´s possible to sync every 30 minutes or something like that? Because I don´t want that a user make a reservation on airbnb and other in my site for the same property.
2.- It´s possible to send a SMS and an email to me when a user makes a or makes an enquiry or a reservation?
3.- It´s possible to set an enquiry mode where user first ask via the website if the property it´s available or no, and manually check if it´s available and then send to the user a custom stripe link so the user can pay if I tell them that it´s available?
Best regards!
Hello,
1) Yes, it is possible to sync with Airbnb using the iCal integration. The sync frequency can be set according to your preferences. You can choose to sync every 30 minutes or at a different interval to ensure that reservations are not double-booked.
2) The theme does not have a built-in feature to send SMS notifications. However, it does send email notifications to you when a user makes an enquiry or reservation. You will receive an email notification with the relevant details.
3) The Homey booking system is able to manage two types of reservations:
1. Request to book 2. Instant booking
In the first case, a user makes a reservation request and the listing author (Host) must confirm the reservation request. After the reservation is confirmed, the user will receive a confirmation notification and can proceed with the payment of the reservation.
In the second case, if your listing is set for instant booking and the reservation dates that the user has selected are available, the user can automatically continue to pay the reservation and at that point, the reservation is confirmed.

Thanks a lot for your reply! How difficult can be to integrate sms option or WhatsApp so it notify the owner when a request to book is made? I mean not only an email but an sms or WhatsApp.
To integrate SMS or WhatsApp notifications for reservation requests in the Homey theme, you would need the assistance of a developer. The complexity of the integration would depend on various factors, such as the chosen SMS or WhatsApp service provider, the specific implementation requirements, and the developer’s expertise.
Implementing SMS or WhatsApp notifications typically involves integrating with an API provided by the service provider, setting up the necessary configuration, and customizing the notification triggers and content. The level of difficulty can vary based on these factors and the developer’s familiarity with the integration process.
We recommend consulting with a developer who has experience with WordPress and integrating SMS or WhatsApp notifications to determine the specific requirements and estimate the complexity of the integration for your particular needs. They can guide you through the process and help you achieve the desired functionality.
Thanks a lot! Just a final question before buying. It´s possible to add different prices/cost for a property? I mean, it´s not the same a price for a property reservation on december that in september. So I wonder if it´s possible to hace different prices/cost depending of seasons or specific dates.
I thought it would be the last question but this will be the last. The idea is that the site shows properties of only one person (administrator) other users will not be allowed to add their properties, only make reservations. Can the wordpress administrator user be the same as the properties or does it have to be different?
Regarding your first question, yes, it is possible to set different prices or costs for a property based on seasons or specific dates in the Homey theme. You can configure pricing rules and adjust the rates accordingly. This allows you to offer different prices for different time periods, such as higher rates during peak seasons and lower rates during off-peak seasons.
As for your second question, the WordPress administrator user can be the same as the property owner. The administrator user can manage and control all aspects of the website, including adding and managing properties. So, in your case, the administrator can be the owner of the properties listed on the website.
I hope this clarifies your queries. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. We’re here to assist you.
Best regards

I’ve read through the comments to find more information on how Homey has structured the security deposit feature in Stripe. Currently, it looks like Homey adds the security deposit in as an actual “charge” instead of a “hold” which Stripe then applies their fee to. Is this correct?
I’ve also read that Homey’s only option for dispersing the security deposit funds back to the guest is by refunding manually. Do we manually refund the guest in the Homey theme or within Stripe? A lot of users are not tech friendly, so this could be a challenging step for some. Thanks!

We are excited about the idea of creating a website for boat reservations and we need your expertise to help us determine if your theme is suitable for our needs. We have a specific requirement that we would like to discuss with you.
Our goal is to allow users to rent boats for different periods of time, including the option to rent them for only half a day. This means we need the ability to configure bookings for either the morning or the afternoon only.
Before making a decision, we would like to know if your WordPress theme offers the necessary functionality to set up this half-day configuration for boat reservations. Is it possible to customize the theme to achieve this goal?
Thank you very much
Thank you for considering Homey for your boat reservation website. We appreciate your interest and would be happy to provide information regarding the functionality of our theme.
While Homey does not have a specific half-day configuration for bookings, it does offer an hourly booking option that may be suitable for your needs. With the hourly booking feature, users can select the desired duration in hours, allowing them to book the boat for the morning or afternoon period.
If you have any further questions or require additional information, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to support you in creating a successful boat reservation website.
Kind regards

PreSales Question: Is it possible to have options on AddOn Services for users to select number of guests who need that service e.g if user books for 4 people, but only one wants that addon service (lets say Massage) instead of calculating the addon service selction for all the 4 bookers?
Hello,
I regret to inform you that the option you mentioned, where users can select the number of guests who require an add-on service individually, is not currently supported in the Homey theme. Presently, the add-on services are calculated based on the total number of guests in the booking.
However, I appreciate your feedback and suggestion for this feature. Our development team continually works to improve and enhance the theme based on user feedback, so it’s possible that such a feature may be considered for a future update.
If you have any other questions or need further clarification, please feel free to ask.
Is it possible to see upcoming features being worked on?

I see in the documentation that if you divide the payment by 50%, for example, then the host can request the payment of the remaining 50% again?
It does not indicate anything about how it acts next.
Hello,
In the Homey theme, the host has the option to request a payout from the website admin. However, the actual transfer of funds to the host needs to be done manually by the admin, in accordance with the payout method selected by the host in their profile.
Once the host requests a payout, the website admin will review the request and initiate the transfer of funds to the host’s designated payout method, such as PayPal or bank transfer. The admin will handle this process outside of the theme’s functionality, ensuring that the host receives the remaining payment.
Kind regards.
Hello, how can I reset all reservations to zero?

Hi, I have a question. What languages has the site been translated for?
