How to lock dates for holidays?

[Renata515]

Hello Airbnb Community, 

I would love to figure out how to let guests book only 5 days together for a specific holiday coming up. I don’t want to see requests for less than this and I’m quite sure there’s a tool for that. Could anyone help me?

You need to create a ruleset, having the minimum stay and the check-in + checkout day set.The apply it to the specific time period. You also need to set limitations on the dates just before the specific tiime period, to prevent people booking into it.

You can add a "custom requirement" for specific dates (in section "Custom trip lengths"), but it is less flexible.

@Renata515 to do what @Emiel1 says you need to switch on pro tools from your account (not listing). Then a whole new world of rule sets opens up for you. Ignore Airbnb help that says you can only have these tools if you have multiple properties - it is wrong!
