Hi
I want to make the minimum length of stay 5 days over the period 27/12 to 2/01
how do i do that?
thanks
Under Trip Length, there is an option called Add Seasonal Requirement. You can do what you are requesting using that option.
i have been through all the tabs and can't find that option - can you point me in the right direction?
thanks
Hi @Nick86
Have you found the Airbnb Help website - it’s a good resource for the basics around managing your listing
If you use the search function there it should take you to a page which shows you how to customise minimum stays for set periods.
thanks
yes i tried that but didn't find anything for a particular period
Yes, it is there, under section "Trip lenght", it is called "add a custom rule for seasons and specific dates"
Then under pulldown menu "during" you set the specific dates.
got it thanks v much
In addtion to @Pat271
Please note The min. stay counts from the day of check-in. It is not acting like a wall, so if somebody books on 26th and your normal min. stay is 2 nights, they can book !
If you want only bookings for minimal 5 nights where dates are completely within(!) the time period you mentioned, you need to experiment also by restricted check-in day /check-out day . Applying a proper ruleset is more flexible.
yes i have 2 nights min set by default - but need a special use case for new year. I keep having to turn people down then the dates get blocked and I have to unblock
As @Nick86 implied, you’ll have to set up some “can’t check out” rules as well, and apply them to days 2-5, so that someone can’t check-in earlier on the calendar and check-out in the middle of your block.
It should be easier to do than this, IMO. For one thing, you should be able to apply the “check-out” rule directly in the above screenshot, but that doesn’t seem to be an option. “Maximum days” also doesn’t seem to be an option when creating a rule. Both would be useful.
Right, but that’s too laborious. They should be able to “edit a requirement” as in the first screenshot above, and select maximum stay and check-out options there (2 very common options), without going through another rules creation process.
There is a fine line between flexibility and usability in software.
@Nick86 , can you figure out how to accomplish what you need from the info above?
thanks all
no - it all gets a bit complicated to be honest. I have done the basics which I hope will stop the bookings from 30/12-2/01
i don't have instabook turned on so can filter out the rest
thanks all
