Glamping Hub Setup & Connecting

OwnerRez has partnered with Glamping Hub to provide an integrated API connection between the two systems. This allows OwnerRez users to handle their listings and bookings from Glamping Hub efficiently. Our Channel Management feature is extremely powerful and can significantly simplify your channel advertising. Learn how it works by reading our Channel Management Overview article.

Glamping Hub - List your property with the world's leading luxury and experiential accommodations booking platform. Glamping Hub is the leading booking platform for unique accommodations in nature, listing a variety of cabins, domes, tiny houses, tree houses, safari tents, and more. Glamping Hub was the original glamping marketplace when it was founded in 2013. They have booked thousands of guests looking to reconnect with nature. They offer close to 20k listings across 110 countries. When you list with Glamping Hub, you have access to all the benefits of their partnerships — your property will also be visible on Kayak and Google Travel for even more exposure, and the best part is that it's free to list!

Glamping Hub is set as an instant book channel inside of OwnerRez. However, Glamping Hub can set you as booking request only. It means that you will have to log into the Glamping Hub dashboard to communicate and confirm your bookings from their side, and the bookings will not show up in OwnerRez until they are confirmed.

PLEASE NOTE: Glamping Hub will still be set as an instant book channel in OwnerRez regardless of what Glamping Hub has you set on their side. If you have Airbnb set as request to book, you will not be able to activate Glamping Hub unless you switch to instant book for Airbnb.

If a booking is submitted less than 24 hours before check-in, it will revert to a booking request if the advance notice selector is not set up. Hosts can set up their advance notice window to allow same-day instant bookings up to the hour of their choosing. This must be set for each individual listing and can be updated directly in your GlampingHub host Calendar tab > Calendar Availability > Advance Notice for each unit, or you can Contact GlampingHub to let them know if you'd like it updated for all.
