Closures

Even as a busy guest house owner, it is likely that you will want to take a break from time to time. Indeed, if you are in a location where trade is very seasonal, you may even close for a month or two. B&B Manager allows you to set up two types of closures; Hotel Closures and Room Closures

Hotel Closures

You can view, add and update hotel closures by selecting Bookings & Closures > Hotel Closures from the top menu. To add a new hotel closure, click on the Add button, select the dates of the closure and enter a reason for the closure (e.g. "On holiday"). Note that the start date you specify is the first day on which the hotel/guest house becomes unavailable and the end date is the first date on which the hotel/guest house is available again. B&B Manager will not permit you to close the hotel during periods in which one or more bookings have been made.

Room Closures

As well as closing your guest house/hotel, you can close off individual rooms for a period of time. This could happen, for example, if one or more rooms are being re-decorated. You can view, add and update room closures by selecting Bookings & Closures > Room Closures from the top menu. To add a new room closure, click on the Add button, select the start and end dates for the closure and enter a reason for the closure (e.g. "re-decoration"). B&B Manager will not permit you to close a room for a period in which it is being used for a booking.

Room Calendar

Closures are displayed in the Room Information panel and on the Room Calendar and can be manipulated in the same way as bookings.
