# Rent Your Property as a Whole or in Parts - Optional

Offer guests both booking options - individual units or the whole property.

**New to Unit Types?** Learn how Zeevou organizes [**Listings, Unit Types, and Units**](https://support.zeevou.com/en-gb/articles/697-setting-up-multiple-units-in-one-location-optional.md) first.

## Do you need this?

**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 and continue to the next step.](https://support.zeevou.com/en-gb/articles/706-list-your-properties.md)

* * *

Offer guests two ways to book the same property:

-   **The whole property** — for example, an entire cottage or apartment building.
    
-   **Individual units** — for example, individual bedrooms or apartments within that property.
    

Zeevou uses connected calendars to help prevent conflicting bookings between the whole property and its individual units.

* * *

## How It Works

Zeevou uses a **parent-child listing structure**, with calendar syncing between the whole property and its individual units, to help prevent conflicting bookings. This means:

-   **When the whole property is booked →** the connected individual-unit calendars are blocked.
    
-   **When an individual unit is booked →** the connected whole-property calendar is blocked, while other units remain available.
    

This allows you to advertise the property as a whole and in parts without creating overlapping bookings.

* * *

## How to Set It Up

### 1\. Create the Whole-Property Listing

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.

### 2\. Create the Individual Units

Create the individual accommodation as separate **Unit Types** within the property.

If you have multiple identical units, you can group them under the same Unit Type.

**For example:**

**Listing:** Seaside Cottage

-   **Unit Type:** Whole Property
    
-   **Unit Type:** Bedroom 1
    
-   **Unit Type:** Bedroom 2
    
-   **Unit Type:** Bedroom 3
    

If you have multiple identical individual units, you can group them under the same Unit Type instead of creating a separate Unit Type for each one.

For more information, see [**Set Up Multiple Units Within One Property**](https://support.zeevou.com/en-gb/articles/697-setting-up-multiple-units-in-one-property-optional.md).

### 3\. Connect the Calendars

To make bookings update the whole-property and individual-unit calendars:

1.  **Export the iCal links from the individual Unit Types.**  
    Select the option to **exclude Blocked Dates** when exporting.
    
2.  **Import these iCal links into the whole-property Unit Type.**
    
3.  **Export the iCal link from the whole-property Unit Type.**  
    Again, select the option to **exclude Blocked Dates**.
    
4.  **Import this iCal link into each individual Unit Type.**
    

Once connected, bookings will automatically update the relevant calendars.

* * *

## Important: Blocked Dates

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.

**Example**

If you manually block **1–5 August** on the whole-property calendar, manually block the same dates on the relevant individual-unit calendars as well.

This prevents those dates from remaining available on another booking option.

* * *

## Example

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.
