What is the new NIGHTS booking feature

[Joelle43]

Hello @Amy-And-BJ0 

I've never heard of this - could you tell us more or send us a screenshot of this new feature maybe?

I recently received this message from Airbnb.

Add nights

What's the full message @Amy-And-BJ0 - is it just asking you to open more nights on the calendar?

Airbnb is always pushing hosts to add more availability, and like @Joelle43 I'm also not aware of a new feature, so I'm just guessing maybe it's just asking you to unblock as many nights as possible?

Hello @Shelley159 @Amy-And-BJ0 

I had a look at your calendar to see if that would help explain this new "add Nights" feature that I've never come across and can see that there are in fact very few nights available for quite a number of months to come. 

So I'm wondering if AI is not detecting that these blocked nights didn't go through Airbnb and is therefore encouraging you to open up more nights to get more bookings (through Airbnb of course😉)

Am I warm or completely off topic?! Have you blocked these nights because they've come through another platform, direct bookings or maybe you've reserved them for yourselves?

Thank you Joelle43 for pointing that out.  I am not aware of weeks or months that have been blocked.  It is not showing on my end.   That is soo weird.   I'll check in to it 🤔🙏🏽

Hi @Amy-And-BJ0 

The lack of calendar availability is for the Waimea Honu Hale house!  You have two listings but I looked at the larger of the two houses
