How to Navigate Your Host Dashboard

When you first log in, your dashboard homepage provides a high-level overview of your account, listings, and reservation activity, including:

These insights give you a quick snapshot of your hosting activity and overall performance on Vidle Housing.

The Listings section includes tools for creating, managing, and syncing your properties.

This is where you can view and manage all of your properties in one place. From here, you can:

Keeping your listing details, pricing, and availability accurate and up to date can help prevent declined reservation requests and missed booking opportunities.

If you use a Property Management System (PMS) or Airbnb, you can connect your account to Vidle Housing to help keep listing information, pricing, and availability synchronized across platforms.

Currently supported integrations include:

If you use a different PMS, click Request Integration to submit an integration request to our team.

The CSV Upload tool is designed for hosts and property managers who need to add multiple properties at once.

To upload listings in bulk:

Be sure to review your listings after uploading to ensure all property details, pricing, and availability are accurate.

The Reservations section allows you to view and manage your booking activity in one place, including:

For each reservation, you can view important details such as:

Regularly reviewing your reservations helps ensure you're prepared for upcoming stays and aware of any changes or updates.

The Messages section is where you communicate directly with travelers throughout the booking process, including:

Responding promptly to inquiries and reservation requests can improve the traveler experience and increase your chances of securing a booking.

For everyone's safety and security, all communication should remain within the Vidle Housing platform. Personal contact information should not be exchanged before a reservation is confirmed.

The Calendar section allows you to manage availability across your listings. From here, you can:

Keeping your calendar accurate and up to date is one of the most important ways to prevent unavailable reservation requests, double bookings, and missed booking opportunities.

If you decline a reservation request because your property is unavailable, you may be prompted to review and update your calendar.

The Help Center is your go-to resource whenever you need assistance. Available support options include:

The Notifications section keeps you informed about important activity on your account, which may include:

Be sure to regularly review your notifications so you don't miss important activity related to your listings or reservations.

The Account section allows you to manage your host profile, integration sync preferences, login and security settings, payment methods, and payout methods.

Manage the information associated with your public host profile, including:

Keeping your profile complete helps travelers learn more about who they're booking with.

If your Vidle Housing account is connected to a supported PMS or external platform, Sync Settings allows you to control which information is transferred and updated automatically.

For example, if you rent your property nightly on another platform, Vidle Housing may automatically pull your nightly rate and multiply it by 30 to calculate an estimated monthly price. However, this may not always reflect the monthly rate you want to offer on Vidle Housing.

If you prefer to set your own monthly price directly on Vidle Housing, you can update your listing with your desired price and then use Sync Settings to lock Pricing. This prevents future syncs from overwriting the price you've set.

Depending on your integration, additional listing information may also be available to lock from syncing.

Important: If you manually update information that is still actively syncing from your PMS, your changes may be overwritten during the next sync. Be sure to review your Sync Settings whenever you want Vidle Housing information to remain different from the information on your connected platform.

Manage important account and security settings, including:

Always use a strong, unique password and never share your login credentials with others.

The Payment Methods section is where you can manage your charge sources.

A payment method is used when money needs to be charged to you, such as when a traveler sends you a money request through the Vidle Housing platform.

This is separate from your payout method, which is used to receive money.

The Payout Methods section is where you connect and manage the account used to receive money through Vidle Housing.

Vidle Housing uses Stripe, a secure third-party payment processor, to manage payouts. Your payout method may be used to receive:

To receive payouts, you'll need to complete your Stripe Connect setup and provide any required identity, banking, business, or tax information requested by Stripe.

Your Host Dashboard is designed to give you control over your listings, reservations, messages, availability, and account settings.
