NOTE:

1. After confirming your XML connection you will not be able to edit rates and availability in Hostelworld, Hostelsclub, Booking.com, Expedia backoffice anymore (if you chose Two-Way XML connection) . 

2. Rates and availability will be editable and uploaded from HostelSystem. Even if not uploaded instantly by a user, the system will upload the rates automatically.

3. It is critical to make sure that HostelSystem contains correct prices and availability. 

4. If you are not sure if HostelSystem is set up properly, DO NOT REQUEST XML before verifying the settings and making sure that you know how to manage them.
5.Please note that the action of mapping and unmapping rooms by itself does not generate the rate or availability change in Extranet. After such action you must resynchronize the data using Synchronize tab in order to overwrite previous settings.
