Example: A cottage can be booked as a whole house or by individual bedrooms. An apartment building can be booked as a whole or as separate apartments.
New to Unit Types? Learn how Zeevou organizes Listings, Unit Types, and Units first.
Yes — if you want guests to book both the entire property and its individual units.
No — if guests can only book individual units. You can skip this section.
Zeevou uses a parent-child listing structure to prevent conflicting bookings:
The whole property is booked → all individual units are blocked.
An individual unit is booked → the whole property is blocked, while other units remain available.
This allows you to advertise the property as a whole and in parts without creating overlapping bookings.
Create a Listing for the entire property.
Zeevou automatically creates a Unit Type representing the whole property. This is what guests book when they choose the entire property.
Create separate Unit Types for the individual units within the property.
If you have multiple identical units, you can group them under the same Unit Type.
To make bookings update the whole-property and individual-unit calendars:
Export the iCal links from the individual Unit Types.
Select the option to exclude Blocked Dates when exporting.
Import these iCal links into the whole-property Unit Type.
Export the iCal link from the whole-property Unit Type.
Again, select the option to exclude Blocked Dates.
Import this iCal link into each individual Unit Type.
Once connected, bookings will automatically update the relevant calendars.
Bookings are automatically shared between connected calendars, but manually blocked dates are not.
If you manually block a date, you must block it separately on the relevant whole-property and individual-unit calendars.
You have Seaside Cottage with:
Whole Property
Bedroom 1
Bedroom 2
Bedroom 3
If a guest books Seaside Cottage as a whole, all three bedrooms become unavailable.
If a guest books Bedroom 1, the whole cottage becomes unavailable, while Bedrooms 2 and 3 remain available.
This allows you to sell the property both as a whole and in parts while preventing overlapping bookings.
