Multiple Rule-Sets for same dates

[Natalie829]

Hello, I am trying to determine how to set multiple rule-sets for a specific period with various minimum night stay requirements with the rates increasing or staying the same. 

For instance -  3 Night stay would increase 30%. 4 Night stay would increase 20%.  But, 6 night stay would NOT increase from the base nightly rate. 

I have been successful creating rule-sets, but not successful in having rule-sets overlap the same dates. I don't want to set the highest rate that I want to charge for 3 nights and therefore offer a discount for a longer stay. 

Thank you!

You can only apply 1 ruleset to a specific date or time period. it will always overrule other (custom) settings.

You can set multiple disscounts in 1 rule set (section length-of-stay discounts), but longer stays must have same or higher discount percentage then offered on shorter stays.

It is not logical discount percentages decrease when stays are longer.

Hi @Emiel1 , thank you for your thoughts. I spoke to support and they informed me of the same result. For now I have several rule-sets and hope for the best! The support ambassador stated they would put in my suggestion for the developers. I doubt I will see this functionality exist in the future. 

All the best,

Natalie

Hello, I am having the same problem but for a different reason.

I am trying to set Christmas and New Year periods to get 1 booking for both holidays.
Using the "No checkout" rule has been semi-successful however,  I need to add another layer of rules.
The Airbnb calendar won't allow me to "Layer" rules, it's very frustrating.

2nd Problem: No checkout rule set won't allow 7-day rule (only 6 days).
To get around this I have to create 2 rules sets.

1. No checkout Monday to Saturday
2. No checkout on Sunday

Maybe someone could offer a better solution:

My goal is to only receive reservation requests that will include Christmas and NY. 

Surely what I am trying to do should be simple, it's a very basic principle but I am struggling to make it work with the available calendar rules.

Hi Paula

Thanks for the reply.
This morning I spent another hour trying a different rule strategy.

CHRISTMAS & New Year Rule sets:

1.   " X-mas 25th ":No check-out & 7-night min stay

2.  "Dec 26 to 31": No Check-In & Out (Thursday to Tuesday)
       Min night scaled from 6-nights, 5, 4, 3, 2

3. "NY - no check-in"

 
This will only allow a reservation that starts 25th or earlier and ends on 1st or later.
