Can I delete a reservation in Bookboost?

No, reservations are synced from your PMS and must be removed there, but there are three better options if the goal is to stop messaging a guest.

No. Reservations cannot be deleted in Bookboost, and there is no setting that changes this. They are synced from your PMS, so the PMS is where a booking is created, changed, and removed. Delete it there and Bookboost follows.

If what you actually want is for a guest to stop receiving messages, that is a different problem with a better answer, below.

Why not

Bookboost does not hold reservations of its own. It displays what your PMS pushes or pulls across, and sits on top of that data as a communication layer. Letting you delete a record here would put the two systems out of step immediately, because the next sync would bring it straight back.

So any change to a reservation, including removing it, is made in the PMS. Bookboost reflects it automatically.

If the goal is to stop messages

Deleting the booking is rarely what is needed. Three options, depending on what the guest asked for.

What this does not do

  • No delete, no exception. There is no permission, plan, or support request that enables deleting a reservation in Bookboost.

  • Deleting in the PMS is not instant here. The removal reaches Bookboost on the next sync rather than immediately.

  • Anonymising is not deleting. It removes the guest's personal data. The reservation itself remains, which is deliberate, so your reporting still adds up.

What to do next

If you are unsure which of the three options fits, start with Stop a guest from receiving campaigns. It is the most reversible.
