Availability Settings: Add a Requirement : Minimum nights

I have a general 5 night minimum set, however I have a couple of 5 night gaps in my bookings and I wanted to use the Availability Settings in the Calendar and Add a Requirement : Minimum nights and change it to 4  to increase the chances of filling the gap.

Ideally this is a technical question for Airbnb but I can't see a way to contact them anymore.

Can someone tell me, if I add this "Requirement" to my calendar, does it force that period to have a minimum of 4 nights, so they could still book for 5 nights as well?

Could someone please confirm? It's a great feature if it is this flexible.

Many thanks.

try searching the forum first for how to contact Airbnb. That is the *most frequently asked* question.

I have tried the settings button, changing it to 2 nights minimum but it doesn't save it. It just reverts back to 1 night minimum. Help!!

Mike,

When you're viewing your calendar, click on Availability Settings near the upper right. Near the bottom of the drop-down, just above where it says Sync Calendars, you should see a link reading "Add another requirement". Click that. In the box that pops up, click on the field labeled "During". In the drop-down that appears, select "Specific dates". It's pretty obvious from there...

 

If the special exception is way off in the future, I also find it handy to go place a Note on the starting and ending dates of the range, just to help me remember that that range will behave differently.
