No Checkout on Saturdays

[Jan281]

Because we are unable to clean the apartment on Saturday we don't want bookings where people Checkout on Saturdays. Other accommodation websites offer this option and I see that this was requeted two years ago and still it has not been implimeted on Airbnb. Can I ask why this cannot be done?

@Jan281

you have this option

go to your calendar and add a rule set , check in and check out days

[Jan281]

There is no such option

[Kath9]

@Jan281, go to your listing, click on Availability, scroll down to 'Check-in and checkout' and click on Edit. Click on the link that says 'Specify days of the week when guests can't check out', then tick Saturdays. Done!

[Jan281]

Hi Kate

There is no section called "Specify days of the week when guests can't check out" only "Specify days of the week when guests can't check in". How are you seeing "Specify days of the week when guests can't check out"

@Jan281

go to your laptop and you will find it.. this is screenshot of my listing.

hosting dashboard / listings / availability...

[Jan281]

I see you have both. I don't. What's with that? How do I get what you have?

[Isabelle623]

I have the same need and the same issue as Jan. I don't see it. How do you'll have a different screen? Or rather, how can I have the same as what you'll have?

Regards,

Isabelle

@Jan281and @Isabelle623 you are both missing an extra link that should be shown directly underneath. Maybe it's only available in certain areas, if you can't see it, but I would start a chat with AirBnb customer service and find out.

Here's what it should look like at first, until you click to "expand" the choices:

[Jan281]

Thanks.  I have contacted Airbnb and they are looking into it. If you are in NZ and have it there seem something afoot. Do you have it in NZ?

[Ben551]

@Jan281  yeah I have it here in NZ.  The screenshot I took above was taken today, from my actual account.  So it's definitely all there.

[Isabelle623]

Thanx Ben

Will reach out to CS as you suggest.

@Jan281 and @Isabelle623, in this case, you'll have to do as @Branka-and-Silvia0 stated and create a rule-set. Follow this link and it should work: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/help/article/2062/how-do-i-create-and-edit-rule-sets

Hi John, the issue with this option is that it blocks out saturday. That is not what I'd trying to do.  I have contacted Airbnb and they are looking into it.

[John1080]

@Jan281, you should be able to add it and it won't block your calendar.

There is another issue also currently being discussed on another thread, whereby when one puts in a restriction such as limiting check in or check out days, that day will appear as blocked (gray) on the calendar if someone is viewing your calendar function on your listing. Unfortunately, that is the way it is and that cannot be changed. I restrict check-ins on Sunday and all my Sundays appear blocked, but in reality aren't. 

But, if someone is searching the Airbnb system for dates, for example for a check in on Thursday and a check out on Monday, they will not see that grayed date and will be able to book normally.
