There are two types of search criteria and they work slightly differently.

If you set them as a "Selector", the page will only show properties that match the selected value.

If you set them as check boxes as you have done, the page shows all the properties but orders them with the best match at the top. The more matching check boxes the higher the property.

If you want to be able to show only properties which match golf and hide all the ones which don't, change the search criteria to a selector.

Thanks Mark, all works now.

What's the difference between Selector upper & Lower? The '"?" doesn't specify that

It sets the positional order on the page, the "upper" items will appear first on the page, before the "lower" items

If we use the check box (so visitors can set more then one search criteria) can it be set up as such that the page will only show properties that match the selected value?

I mean can Beds24 add that option?

Theoretically this is possible but no results would be shown if no tick box is ticked. To avoid this we would have to change the logic to default to ticking all boxes which we do not want to do.

You can set up groups of properties. To do this go to SETTINGS -> BOOKING PAGE ->MULTIPLE PROPERTIES-> PROPERTY SETTINGS and set up "Group Keywords". These tags are used for showing and hiding properties on the property list pages.

If the property list page opens with a group= parameter it will only show properties with a matching group setting

If the property list page opens with a nogroup= parameter it will not show properties with a matching group setting

I have the same problem. Did you find any solution? Also, the check in and checkout date filled in the widget are not passed to property booking page.
Is there a way to use if else function to direct the booking widget to a single property booking page matching with the search criteria?
Please help.
