About mapping

  • When the verification is successful, a green ✓ mark will appear.

  • ・If an error occurs, the number of errors is displayed and you can check where the error occurred.

Confirm Mapping

Ignore This Column

  • Can be selected when there is no corresponding data to map

  • Cannot be selected for required mapping fields.

Select which column from the imported data should be mapped to each field prepared by AirHost.

Some fields require mandatory mapping between the imported values and AirHost values (e.g., Room Number).

The "Remarks" field allows you to select multiple columns and merge them into a single field.

How to Modify Reservation Details

To change certain reservation details, such as the rate plan or stay dates, you must edit the original CSV file and upload the updated file again.

During re-import, if the reservation number in the CSV matches an existing reservation, the corresponding reservation will be overwritten and updated with the latest information from the file.

Please note that fields such as the guest name, email address, and phone number can be edited directly from the reservation details page.


Limitations of CSV-Imported Reservations

The CSV Import feature is designed for importing reservation data from third-party PMS systems (e.g., NEC PMS, inCharge7, etc.). As a result, there is no option to select or specify a payment method during the CSV import process.

For reservations with a payment amount entered in the CSV file, the reservation will automatically be registered as OTA Prepaid (OTA Collect).

In addition, reservations created via CSV import have certain restrictions compared to regular reservations. Some reservation details cannot be edited in the same way, and therefore the "Edit Reservation" option may not be displayed.

If you need to change the payment method, please review the source data used for the import and update it to the appropriate payment type before re-importing.
