Setting up your property and managing your availability on Hostelworld is quick and simple! Before your property can go live, make sure everything is **fully set up and accurate** — including your details, room types, rates, and availability. --- ### ✅ Step 1: Complete your property profile Make sure all your property information is filled in correctly — including your description, photos, amenities, and location. A complete profile helps guests find you and boosts your visibility. --- ### 💰 Step 2: Set up your rates and availability Your property will only appear online if you have **open availability**. If there are no available beds or rooms, your property won’t show to guests searching for accommodation. All bookings made through Hostelworld are **instantly confirmed** based on your availability, so keeping your calendar up to date is essential. You can easily manage this via your **Hostelworld Inbox → Rates & Availability** section. --- ### 🔗 Step 3: Using a Channel Manager? If you manage your bookings through a **Channel Manager**, all updates to your **rates and availability** must be made directly there. Changes made on the Channel Manager will automatically sync to Hostelworld once your connection is active. --- ### 📚 Helpful articles Here are some guides to help you along the way: - [**How to update the description of your property using Hostelworld Inbox?**](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/updating-on-line-description?hsLang=en) - [**How to write good property description: Guidelines**](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/how-to-write-good-property-description-guidelines?hsLang=en) - **[Create your room types and set rates](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/create-your-room-types-and-set-rates?hsLang=en)** - [**Add/Edit Standard Rate**](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/add/edit-standard-rate?hsLang=en) - **[Updating Availability](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/updating-availability-using-hostelworld-inbox?hsLang=en)**   --- ### 🎥 Watch & learn Check out this short video to learn more about the **Rates & Availability** functions in Hostelworld Inbox: --- ### 💬 Need help?
