Sarah,
it took me time to write down an answer and sorry, it will be uncomplete!
I'd prefer my tech collegues to give you a detailed answer.
So, basically, what I want to comment is point 5:
my point here is why to not offer rooms on all the OTA? I feel this is an error a lot of hoteliers incurres in. Which is the goal to not offer a certain room type on Booking.com or expedia, meanwhile you offer it in hostelworld?
Overall, if you already have those rooms in those OTAs..
I agree you probably, at some point, decide to close the sale for certain room type (or better, using tabla, you can close only the OTAs, not the direct booking engine) but this is possible through restrictions. Not availability values. And to do so, it is very easy from tabla or sytar.
Finally, discrimination must be done on restrictions, not availability. And you already can do it.
Am I wrong?
:D
p.s.: many thanks for the detailed message and suggestions!
