By default, Reservit synchronizes your availability over a 12-month period. It is therefore normal that no reservations can be made beyond this timeframe, even if your rates and availability are correctly set up.
Would you like to open your calendar and bookings over 18 months instead of 12? Our teams can trigger a one-time synchronization covering the next 18 months. Simply send your request to our support team (Europe: assistance@reservit.com; Americas: support@reservit.ca): we carry out the operation, there is nothing for you to configure. Your availability is then updated for this period before gradually returning to the automatic 12-month cycle.
Good to know:
-
Opening 18 months does not create any rates or inventory: your rates and availability must be entered for the whole period to be bookable.
-
Most distribution channels work on 12 months: the extension mainly benefits your direct bookings, on your booking engine.
-
The "on-the-fly" room in the booking entry does not open your calendar: it creates an out-of-inventory booking, on a room that does not exist in your calendar.

Article Summary: This tutorial explains why your property's availability is limited to 12 months by default on Reservit Accommodation and how to resolve this limitation. You will discover the requirements to extend your online booking calendar up to 18 months, allowing you to capture early planners. Understand how synchronization works to optimize your long-term hotel schedule management.
The 4 key steps to extend your availability beyond 12 months:
-
Understand the default limitation: Note that the standard synchronization on Reservit is 12 months, which corresponds to the technical standard required by most distributors (OTAs).
-
Define your extension needs: Identify if your business strategy requires opening online bookings up to 18 months in advance.
-
Contact the Reservit teams: Reach out to our technical support to apply this modification, as extending beyond 12 months requires manual intervention on our part.
-
Anticipate the synchronization cycle: Keep in mind that the 18-month configuration is a one-time push; the calendar will then gradually decrease back toward the 12-month standard over time.
