Linked reservations are a way to identify associated reservations staying at your property. For example, linked reservations could be used if a guest makes reservations for a family celebration or a group of friends traveling on holiday together. Initially, a single multi-room reservation can be created, which is later split into individual reservations, then linked to different guest profiles. The resulting reservations are identical to the original reservation and linked together. When the Unique Confirmation Number for Linked Reservation OPERA Control is active split reservations are assigned a unique confirmation number.
