How to Cancel a Reservation
There are two main ways to cancel a reservation — directly from the calendar or from the reservations list. Canceling removes the reservation from blocking the calendar but keeps it accessible as a hidden reservation, unless you delete it entirely.
Option 1 – Cancel from the Calendar
- Locate the reservation on your Availability Calendar.
- Click the reservation to open its Details Page.
- In the Status dropdown, select Cancelled.
- Click Save.
Once canceled, the reservation will no longer block the calendar dates. However, it remains accessible as a Hidden Reservation if hidden links are enabled.
Viewing Hidden Reservations
Hidden reservations can be accessed from your calendar by clicking the small +1 (or similar) link that appears on dates where hidden reservations exist.
To make sure hidden links are visible:
- Go to Settings ? Preferences ? Internal Availability Calendar.
- Find the option labeled Hidden Reservations.
- Select Show to enable hidden links on the calendar.
Note: Hidden reservations are enabled by default in all accounts.
Fully Deleting a Reservation
To completely remove a canceled reservation from the system:
- Open the reservation’s Details Page.
- Click the blue More button.
- Select Delete Reservation.
Warning: Deleting a reservation permanently removes all data and cannot be undone.
Option 2 – Cancel from the Reservations Tab
- Go to the Reservations tab.
- Use the filters at the top to locate the desired reservation(s).
- Check the box next to each reservation you wish to cancel.
- From the Change Status dropdown, select Cancelled.
This bulk method is useful for quickly canceling multiple reservations at once.
Summary
- Set the status to Cancelled to stop a reservation from blocking the calendar.
- Hidden reservations can be accessed through the Hidden Links feature.
- Use More ? Delete to permanently remove a reservation.
- Cancel individual or multiple reservations from the Reservations tab.
By using these options, you can easily manage cancellations while keeping your calendar accurate and up to date.
