What it does

Import from files

  • Three file types

    Excel (.xlsx), CSV downloaded from Google Sheets, and .ics downloaded from Google Calendar.

  • No template needed

    Columns are matched by their Vietnamese or English headings: name, phone, check-in, check-out, room type, total, deposit paid, note. Dates as dd/mm/yyyy; amounts like "1,5tr" or "500k" work.

  • Row-by-row preview

    Each row says whether it will be imported or skipped, and why: in the past, missing dates, unknown room type, room already taken.

  • Same path as a real booking

    Imported bookings hold their rooms, are confirmed and record the deposit already paid, just like bookings entered by hand.

  • Undo the whole batch

    Imported the wrong file? Click Undo this import and every booking from it is cancelled at once.

Questions

Common questions

My file has no room type column.

Pick a default room type before importing. Rows with no room type use it.

What if two bookings in the file need the same room?

The later one is not imported and is marked "Room taken" in the preview, so you can sort it out.

I have several properties. One import for all?

Bookings import one property at a time. To create many properties and room types at once, use the Excel template on the Properties page, on every plan.
