Reservations

Reservations sync automatically from your Property Management System (PMS). This guide shows you how to find, filter, and view reservation details.

Accessing Reservations

Navigate to Reservations from the main menu to see all guest reservations at your property.

Understanding Statuses

Stay Details

For current reservations, you can view and edit:

  • Additional Details - Notes specific to this stay
  • Celebrations - Special occasions during the stay
Right-click on any stay detail card to access the edit option, or use the three-dot menu on the reservation.

Multi-Room Reservations

When a guest has multiple rooms or changes rooms during their stay, all rooms are displayed together.
Room assignments sync from your PMS. If a guest moves rooms mid-stay, ABRA tracks the history automatically.

Syncing with Your PMS

Reservations update automatically from your PMS. If you need to manually refresh a reservation:
