The Reservations page is where you find every past and future reservation in your Duve account. From here, you can search and filter reservations, see who is staying with you today, export reservation data, and open any reservation to view its full details. Each reservation also has its own page, where you can review guest information, manage payments and documents, and track everything that happened during the stay.

Before you start
- Reservations are created in Duve automatically through your PMS, channel manager, or iCal connection. Make sure your integration is connected so reservation details sync correctly.
- The details Duve shows depend on what your PMS, channel manager, or iCal sends. If a field (for example, the guest's email) is not provided by the source, it will be empty in Duve until the guest or a user fills it in.

What's on the Reservation page
Each reservation page brings together the reservation details, action buttons, and activity log. Information comes from three places:
- Your PMS, channel manager, or iCal: Synced automatically, such as guest details, booking source, and external reservation ID.
- The guest: Added through the Pre Check-In wizard.
- You: You can edit or fill in any field on the page. Click Save to keep your changes.
Basic
- Shows the assigned room/rental and the stay dates, synced automatically.
- Shows the current Guest Status.
- Click the arrow box next to Assigned Room to open that room/rental's page.
Sub-reservations: If this is a sub-reservation, the Basic section links to the main reservation. Guests are added and access the Guest app through the main reservation.
Connectivity
Shows details synced from your PMS, such as the booking source, agent, reservation number, and reservation status (using the status names from your PMS).
Booker
Shows the contact details of the person who made the booking: first name, last name, email, and phone number, as provided by your PMS, channel manager, or iCal.
- Masked emails: If the booking source provides a masked email, Duve uses it until the guest updates their email in the Pre Check-In wizard.
- Language: The guest's preferred language is set from the nationality sent by your PMS. If no nationality is available, Duve uses the phone number's country code. The guest can change it in the Guest app, or you can change it here.
- Start chat: Click Start chat to open a conversation with the guest in the Communication Hub sidebar.
Guests
Lists the contact details of every guest on the reservation. Each guest gets a guest profile, which also shows their mobile key access when mobile keys are connected.

Additional fields
This section appears only when the reservation has Additional Fields. It shows extra reservation details that go beyond Duve's standard fields, such as guest categories, special requests, or internal tags.
Assigned team members

Check-in requirements
Customize the check-in requirements for this reservation only, without changing your default Settings.

FAQs
Q: Why does the Reservations page only show next month's reservations?
A: The Check-in Date filter defaults to the next month starting from today. Change the date range to see earlier or later reservations.
Q: Why is the guest's email missing on a reservation?
A: Duve only receives the details your PMS, channel manager, or iCal sends. If no email was provided, the field stays empty until the guest adds it in the Pre Check-In wizard or you enter it manually.
Q: Why don't I see the Additional Fields section on a reservation?
A: The section appears only when the reservation has Additional Fields. If your PMS does not send custom fields, or the reservation has none, the section is not shown.
Q: How do I delete a reservation?
A: Reservations cannot be deleted. Click the three-dot icon and select Delete to move the reservation to Canceled status.
Q: Where can I find a guest's passport or credit card scan?
A: These scans are emailed to you, not stored in Duve. In the Documents section, click Copy email title to clipboard and search for it in your inbox.
Q: Can I change a security deposit charge after claiming it?
A: No. Once a deposit is claimed for a specific amount, it cannot be claimed again for a different amount.
Q: How long does Duve keep reservation and guest contact information?
A: Reservation information is saved in Duve and is never deleted. Some data is kept for a limited time: Required Documents are stored securely for 6 months after the check-out date, and E-Signatures are deleted if the E-Signature deletion feature is enabled.
Q: Can a reservation have 0 adults?
A: Yes. Duve keeps the exact guest composition received from your PMS, including reservations with 0 adults and only children or babies. Guest counts stay accurate across Online Check-in, e-signature forms, payment pages, and dynamic parameters.
Q: I have 2 PMS connections with the same ID. Which one should I delete?
A: On the Reservations page, check the Source Nickname column for your recently synced reservations. If reservations are coming from only one sync source, it is safe to delete the other one.
Q: Why is a guest with a canceled reservation still receiving messages from Duve?
A: The reservation status has most likely not been updated in Duve yet. Make sure your PMS connection is up to date and has no errors, then sync manually:
- Go to Settings > Connections and open your PMS connection.
- Click Sync Now.
- Wait for the Full Sync Completed notification.
- Open the reservation and check that its status changed to Canceled.
