The guest will need to contact Safely directly to make changes to their coverage dates if they change the dates of their Lodgify reservation.

ResNexus makes group bookings easy and saves your staff time. After your property has blocked off the dates and approximate number of rooms or units for the group, a custom booking engine link becomes available for you to send to the group coordinator. They can then share this link with all the other group members, and you simply watch as the block fills up with individual bookings. Guests can also make individual payments. This allows the group to decide amongst themselves where to put everyone in the most efficient way. And each guest must agree to your policies as part of this process, so no one is allowed to slip through the cracks. Finally, each guest in the group receives their own automatic confirmation email for their specific reservation.

Lodgify does not have group booking functionality. In addition, it does not have a specific booking engine link to organize the rooms and collect payment from each and every guest in the party.
