To set your general rules:

- Click to select the Let guests reserve multiple rooms checkbox:
- Checked: Guests can reserve multiple rooms per booking. Set the Max number of rooms per reservation.
- Unchecked: Guests can only reserve one room per booking.
- Click Save at the top.
Step 2 | Set your search rules
With your general rules set, you can now choose how guests search for rooms and the kinds of results they see.
To set your search rules:
- Go to Property Settings in your site's dashboard.
- Click Manage Booking Engine next to Reservation Settings.
- Enter the Max number of adults per room.
- Enter the Max number of children per room.
- Enter the Default number of adults in booking engine.
- Select the Show discounted prices by comparing them with the master rate checkbox to show guests the best value options in their search results.
- Select the Show unavailable rooms in search results checkbox to give your guests the chance to try searching for alternative dates or contact you about making a reservation.
- Click Save at the top.
Step 3 | Choose the details you need from guests
