Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to increase mid-week bookings. I'm a new host and have a larger house. I don't think weekend bookings will be a problem. The issue is that very few people need a house this big during the week.
Unfortunately, it seems that I can't do a custom setting for mid-week travelers. If I could allow for $149/night but only 2-4 guests I could rent my place every night during the week. The problem is I can't adjust the number of guests allowed during the week, without affecting my weekend pricing.
For example, if I did the above setting, then if a larger group tried to rent the house on a Saturday, at the weekend rate of $499, the app would attempt to charge them extra for the guests above 4. If I didn't charge for extra guests, and simply allowed a 10 person maximum, then people during the week could max out the number of guests (10) for $149. If I lowered the weekend price, and then included the additional guest fee, I could end up with people renting the house for $149/night on the weekend (no good).
It's a big house but I would happily rent it to 2-4 travelers during the week for $149/night since it's easier to clean, less beds to change etc etc.
Anyway, I'm really surprised Airbnb doesn't have this setting customization available. Do I just need to do a separate listing with the same address and only show it as available M-Thurs? I saw one other poster that did this and turned Instant Book on the 'weekend' listing and turned it off on the 'midweek' listing.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Aaron
