5 Property Management Tips for Accommodation Owners
Inn Style’s Support Manager shares five practical tips to help accommodation owners manage cancellations, sell gift vouchers, simplify housekeeping and stay on top of bookings.
Running an accommodation business is brilliant. The endless admin? Not always so much.
With the Christmas rush creeping closer, we asked Monica, Inn Style’s Support Manager, for her top five tips to help accommodation owners work smarter, save time and make the most of their booking system.
Consider this your friendly nudge to let the software do some extra heavy lifting.
1. A cancellation doesn’t have to ruin your day
An empty room and lost revenue? Nobody’s putting that on their Christmas wish list.
Inn Style’s Waiting List can automatically notify interested guests when their preferred dates become available. If those dates remain available for 30 minutes, guests on the list can be notified and given the chance to book.
Less chasing. More chances to fill those gaps.
2. Give the gift of a getaway
Socks are practical. Another mug is… a choice. A night away? Now we’re talking.
Gift vouchers give guests an easy way to treat someone special while helping you generate future bookings. Get them in front of your audience on your website and social media before the Christmas shopping panic sets in.
3. Let housekeeping get ahead of the game
Nobody wants a 10AM message asking whether Room 4 has been cleaned. Especially not when the next guests are already in the car.
Inn Style can automatically email your housekeeping team a daily update, helping everyone keep track of arrivals, departures and cleaning tasks. Fewer messages, clearer plans and a smoother day for the whole team.
4. Reward your regulars without discounting everything
Your returning guests deserve a little love. Your profit margins do too.
With Secret Discount Codes, you can share exclusive offers with loyal guests, your mailing list or selected customers without dropping your public rates for everyone. A little perk for the right people, without putting your prices on sale.
5. Check your prices before the rush
Your rates are up to date. Your availability is correct. Your booking rules are behaving themselves. Lovely.
Before peak season kicks off, give your prices and availability across connected channels a quick check. Inn Style’s Price Updater helps you update prices across selected dates and rooms. Made a big batch of changes? Run a full price sync afterwards.
Five minutes of checking now could save you a much bigger headache later.

A little less admin. A lot more breathing room.
You didn’t start an accommodation business to spend your days chasing updates, answering the same questions and wrestling with spreadsheets. Inn Style helps take that busywork off your plate, so you can focus on your guests, your property and the parts of the job you actually enjoy.
