No 2-night gaps between bookings - Is this possible to set?

[Ben205]

I've been looking for an answer on the forum but haven't found it, yet. Can you help?

I would like to be able to set my calendar so that guests can't leave a 2-night gap either before or after their stay. Is this possible?

I'm happy with 1 night or 3+ nights but haven't found a way (easy or not) of limiting the gaps between bookings.

Thanks for any help!

@Ben205 no, there's no way to set this up directly on Airbnb except by manually blocking check-in dates. Third-party tools like usewheelhouse.com offer more options.

I think we have almost opposite problems !

You plainly want as little gap as possible between bookings (1 night being reasonable), or want a decent gap to allow a worthwhile booking... That sounds like an efficient and viable setting..

Our settings are to leave at least 1 night gap before and after each guest with a 3 night minimum booking. Simple enough.. just a one night rule. Not so. This week, a gap of 3 nights between one group of guests and another was entirely filled by an Instant Book! Where are the applied settings of "1 night gap before and after each guest" applied? - They were not, they were non-existent! Further to this, where are Airbnb's social responsibilities regarding Covid cleaning here on same day turnaround? 

Clearly, this was a system error, yet the CS Agent wanted to blame us quoting that an IB could request to stay. Possibly 'request' but definitely  not book!

If you could set a rule to suit your booking efficiency @Ben205 , just don't rely on it working.
