Dear AirBnB,
I always try to treat my staff with kindness and dignity. It would be great if you would give us a blocked check-in / check-out dates tool to help us do so.
I'm totally fine with having guests in my home on Christmas and Thanksgiving. But I would be incredibly insensitive to expect my housekeeper, property manager, hot tub cleaner, etc. to handle check-ins or check-outs on these holidays. My housekeeper is a hard-working Mom who I pay $30+ per hour. I always want to treat her with dignity. I want to be able to ensure she won't be asked to work on holidays so she can be with family without me having to lose out on bookings and income. And if she ever needed a planned sick day for a medical procedure, I would use the same feature to accommodate her.
AirBnB does not currently provide the tools needed to treat my staff with kindness on holidays.
SUGGESTION
Please add a tool for "BLOCK CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT ON SPECIFIC DATE".
To be clear, I don't want to block BOOKINGS. I only want to block check-in / check-out.
Such a feature might look like this:
BLOCK CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT DATES
January 1
July 4
November 26
December 25
It would be particularly helpful if there was a repeat option to mark certain blocked check-in / check-out dates ANNUALLY
BLOCK CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT DATES
January 1 ✅ repeat annually
July 4 ✅ repeat annually
November 26
December 25 ✅ repeat annually
Again, I'm not trying to block guests on these dates. I simply want to prevent any stay from STARTING on a blocked date or ENDING on a blocked date.
It would be great if the feature was implemented immediately so that it would be available for the 2020 holiday season.
Thank you.
