Guests, dates, delete and create bookings ## Change the number of guests, remove guests or duplicate bookings, edit dates and create a manual booking from the Chekin web dashboard, step by step. You can correct a booking from the Chekin web dashboard: change the number of guests, remove extra guests, adjust the dates, delete a duplicate booking or create a booking manually. Here are the steps for each case. ## Change the number of guests in a booking The number of guests is how many people must register during check-in. To change it: 1. Log in to the Chekin web dashboard and go to **Bookings**. 2. Open the booking. 3. In the **Booking Information** section, change the **Guests to register** field. 4. Save the changes. The guest can also change this number during step 1 of the online check-in. Bookings imported via iCal are always created with 1 guest, because the calendar does not include that data. Adjust it manually in each booking. If the booking comes from a PMS and the number is wrong, also check the data in the PMS. ## Remove an extra guest If a booking shows a guest who is not needed or is duplicated, open the booking and use the **Delete Guest** option on that guest's card. Then check that the **Guests to register** field has the correct number. The **Guest leader** cannot be deleted while another guest is registered in the booking. ## Change the dates of a booking If the guest has already completed check-in and the dates change, do not delete the booking. Edit it and its check-in data will stay linked, so the guest does not have to register again. 1. Go to **Bookings** and open the booking. 2. In **Booking Information**, edit the **Check-in → Check-out** field. 3. Save the changes. ### If you changed the dates on Airbnb or Booking.com With iCal, a date change on the platform does not update the existing booking: Chekin creates a new booking with the new dates. You must delete the old one (see the next section). If you want changes to be updated without creating new bookings, you need a PMS integration. More information in [How do iCals work in Chekin?](https://support.chekin.com/es/knowledge/c%C3%B3mo-funcionan-los-ical-en-chekin-centro-de-ayuda-de-chekin?hsLang=en). ## Delete a duplicate booking or one created by mistake 1. Go to **Bookings** and open the booking you want to delete. 2. Scroll to the bottom of the booking page. 3. Click the red **Delete booking** button. 4. Confirm the action. Before deleting, check which of the two bookings has the guest's data. If the guest has already completed check-in, keep that one and delete the other. Bookings cannot be merged. If one booking has the tax payment and another has the guests, keep both. Duplicates are common when iCal and the property link are used at the same time. Use only one of the two methods. ## Create a manual booking Manual bookings are created from the web dashboard, not from the mobile app. The mobile app is only for viewing and managing bookings that already exist. 1. Log in to the web dashboard and go to **Bookings**. 2. Click **New booking**. 3. Fill in the stay details, such as the property and the dates. 4. Click **Save booking**. 5. Open the new booking and click **Copy link**. 6. Send the link to the guest so they can complete the online check-in. A booking with a past check-in date is not imported via iCal. ## Need help?
