Some fields need attention constantly and others can sit for months. Knowing the difference saves you time.
Availability: the critical one
Your calendar is the thing that must be right. An out-of-date calendar leads to a booking you cannot honour, and a host cancellation carries real consequences: an automated review marker on your listing, financial penalties, or account suspension.
If you take bookings anywhere else, block those dates on Koobo the same day. If you use a channel manager such as Hospitable, keep the sync connected and check it periodically rather than assuming.
Pricing: seasonally
Siargao's demand swings hard. Peak surf season from September to November, the Christmas and New Year period, and Holy Week all justify different pricing from a quiet month.
Change prices ahead of demand. Raising a rate the week before peak season means most of those dates are already gone at your old price.
Photographs: after anything changes
A repaint, new furniture, a replaced scooter, a renovation. Photographs that no longer match reality generate complaints and refund requests.
Description: when it stops being accurate
If something you mention no longer exists, or guests keep asking a question the listing should answer, update it.
Documents: before they expire
Your business permit and any licence your operation requires. An expired permit can hold up a payout you were expecting.
Bank details: immediately
If you change bank or close an account, update it straight away. A payout sent to stale details fails and has to be reissued, and Koobo cannot recover funds sent to details a host supplied.
Contact details
So booking notifications actually reach you. Bookings confirm instantly, so the notification is how you find out a guest is coming.
A simple rhythm
Check the calendar weekly. Review pricing at the start of each season. Everything else, when something changes.
