# Transferring bookings

If you’re the owner for a booking, you can transfer the booking to someone else. This is the same as changing the booking owner for the booking.

{% hint style="info" %}
In most cases, the booking owner is the user who made the booking. However, when making a booking, the user can appoint someone else as the booking owner. This usually happens when the user is making a booking on behalf of someone else. 
{% endhint %}

This allows the new booking owner to:

* view, edit, transfer, or cancel the booking
* receive notifications for the booking
* manually start the booking, if it’s required
* add [booking hosts](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] for the booking

To transfer a booking:

1. Select the booking
2. Select the **Transfer booking** button in the Booking details section

Once the booking is transferred:

* the previous booking owner and hosts will lose access to the booking
* the new booking owner will be notified
* the previous booking owner and hosts will be notified
