Before beginning the listing mapping process you will need to work with a Boost Implementation or Support team member to connect your Boost account to Airbnb. Do not attempt to connect Boost to ABB on your own. If this process is done incorrectly it can be difficult to correct. |
1. Ensure you listings are not available to be booked
Before beginning the listing mapping process, you will want to ‘Unlist’ your live properties within your Airbnb host dashboard to prevent them from being booked during the mapping process in Rezfusion Boost. Please follow the steps below to Unlist your properties on Airbnb.

Do NOT ‘Deactivate’ your properties in your Airbnb host account. This will delete them from Airbnb. Follow the steps below to ‘Unlist’ your property. |
