Reservation details: things to note
Access guest details
You must have permission to access guest details
Guest contact and payment details are not included in booking confirmation, modification and cancellation e-mails. This includes phone numbers, e-mail addresses, physical addresses, company information, and payment card details.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required to access guest details and payment details.
Date format in reservations
The date format shown in your SiteMinder platform (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY) is based on your workstation or computer's time and date settings.
Missing guest contact details
If guest contact details are missing, the booking may have come through a third-party platform that doesn't pass full contact details, the guest may not have provided them, or there was a delivery issue. Contact the channel directly to obtain or correct them. Get the channel's contact details from their website or extranet.
Reservation totals and rate types
The total amount shown for a reservation is the amount sent by the channel. This may be a gross rate (inclusive of taxes) or a net rate, depending on the channel's settings.
To change how reservation totals are sent, for example, if you want the channel to send SiteMinder/your PMS net rates instead of gross rates, contact the channel directly to request an update to their reservation delivery settings.
Reservations for unmapped rates
⚠️ Reservations for unmapped rates:
Important: Make sure to map all your required room rates to the channel and to your PMS/CRS/RMS to reduce the risk of overbookings.
If a room rate is not mapped to the channel, on the Reservations page you'll see:
A yellow warning banner indicating the reservation came from a channel rate that isn't mapped in your platform (e.g., "Inventory not updated for Booking.com reservation") with recommended actions to fix the mapping issue
Blank or unknown room type and/or rate plan - Showing as (-)
If a room rate is not mapped to your PMS/CRS/RMS, you'll see:
Missing or incomplete PMS delivery status - Shows (-) in the Connectivity status column in the reservations list
