##### Differences calendar Live vs Dashboard The Live calendar shows different reserved dates than the Dashboard calendar. This is the result of the different purposes; The live calendar shows the departure day as free (bookable) to invite people to book this day. The Dashboard calendar shows the same departure day as booked, as the guest still occupies part of this day. If you have a guest leaving at the 10th and a new guest is arriving at the 10th you'll see two bookings/guests at this day. This is perfectly normal, you can see it as a change-over day. ##### Receiving bookings per email All message are send by 'server@booka.place'. This is a professional configured messaging system, with valid certifcates, DKIM en SPF records. Nevertheless, add this email address to your Whitelist to prevent it will be classified as spam. ##### Double bookings If a guest selects payment method X and this method fails, the guest can go back and select another payment method (to save the booking). If 'Direct Reservations' is active, this behaviour will result in a double booking for the same guest. The differences are: a new bookingID and a changed payment method field. Please delete the failed booking manually.
