Connecting Glamping Hub to myallocator

Follow

Glamping Hub is the leading online booking platform for unique, outdoor accommodations.

Glamping, also known as luxury camping or glamorous camping, is an experience-based kind of travel that allows guests to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors, but without the hassles of traditional camping.

What is considered glamping? A property that is somewhat remote, with close access to nature, and/or a unique style of accommodation.

Things you should know before you get started:

  • The listing will be vetted by Glamping Hub to determine if it fits the glamping category.
  • Glamping Hub is a Calendar Based Channel, which works different from normal channels like Booking.com, Expedia. To learn more about this type of channel and their limitations, visit this article from our Knowledge Base
  • Calendar-based channels do not provide us with the number of customers that booked, so bookings for shared/dorm rooms will be imported as 1 bed by default, even though there could be more! It's safest to not update/sell dorm rooms on GlampingHub.  
  • Please check the FAQ (*LINK HERE) section to check channel's limitations
