Calendar sync issues due to minimum night stay

Calendar sync issues due to minimum night stay

When Airbnb gets to nights that have less than the minimum nights stay  it is blocking those nights on Airbnb and my other synced calenders. My other platforms don't do this but only Airbnb. All other calendars show the night being booked by Airbnb.

 

Any ideas by anyone? Airbnb hasn't been any help as they point the finger at the other calendars.  But it is information that is being sent out by Airbnb that is creating the problem

 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide or suggest

Airbnb does not block those dates (made unavailable), but they can not be booked because of minimum stay is set longer then nights available to book.

e.g. If a guest wants to extend his stay into such time period, it is still possible. Changing the minimum stay for such time period is also an option (by rule set)

 

True Airbnb does not show those nights as booked but does block them as they are shorter than the minimum nights required.

 

But when I import the Airbnb calendar into any other platform each of those platforms are receiving a booked night status for those blocked nights from Airbnb. As I am importing the Airbnb calendar into 3 different platforms all 3 are showing a booked status from Airbnb. The data is coming from Airbnb in the import of the Airbnb calendar.Airbnb.jpgVRBO.jpgFlipkey.jpgAvailabilityCalendar.jpg

 

Can't figure out any way to fix this issue

I think we're seeing the same issue.  When Importing VRBO calendar into Airbnb.  It blocks three consecutive  days with Tag "Minimum Stay".  

Minimum stay is 2 nights, but even when adjusted to 1 night, it does not make a difference.   Have tried to resync calendars, and modify minimum night stay on both platforms to a single night.  Still blocks the days in Airbnb that should be open.
