Once you're ready with cloning the listing, you can find the Cloned listing underneath the Children page of the Parent listing:
5. The Booking.com listing will be initially with sychronization status to Booking.com XML: Being built.
Please note it may take up to 24-hours Booking.com to review the listing before it can be Listed and become in status: Open/Bookable.
For your reference:
ℹ️ Please note to make sure the default rate in Hostify matches the rate in Booking.com.
ℹ️ Please note that by default, the Booking synchronization type will be set to Everything:
You can select the Rates and Availability option from the same drop-down menu.
ℹ️ Please note that by default all the Synchronizations between Parent and Booking.com child listing will be set to ON.
6. When you're done with adjusting all the settings, the last mandatory step is to navigate to Property and List it from Property tab:
The synchronization status will be changed to Open/Bookable and it will go live.
ℹ️ Please remember that it's a good practice to compare the Child listing and your listing in Booking.com to make sure that the information matches precisely well. This is a strongly recommended step before Listing the property in Hostify.
