How could I create a promotion for trip length

[Guy1123]

Hi everyone,

I'm just trying to figure out this. Trip length discounts apply for a set amount of days, regardless of the calendar dates. On the other side, promotions apply to selected single days. How could I set a promotion for a specific week, so a guest choosing that selected whole week can benefit of the discount while one individual booking for one day midweek had to pay the full rate?

Thanks for any input!

This can be accomplished by turning on Pro Tools and using a Rule Set to apply to those dates and specify lenghth of stay for the specific dates. Be sure to double check you have created the Rule Set correctly after you apply it. Go to your listing in a private window (incognito mode on Google Chrome) and try to book the dates as a guest to determine if you created the Rule Set correctly.

Thanks for your reply, Joan. I do have the Pro Tools, although I'm not professional on this field. I must have done something wrong when setting the rule. I will try that again.

I get prices with a £33 difference between the Guest Total on the host calendar and the Total on the guest side. I guess the host calendar doesn't show Airbnb's fees for the host. But I still come to a difference of £5 compared to my calculations.

If you could post some screen shots of the difference you are mentioning and the the actual details of your Rule set and what dates you are applying them on your calendar, I might be able to help out?

Sorry for the delay in replying. Have been a bit busy. I have managed to troubleshoot the incident thanks to your instructions. 

Best wishes and Happy New Year,
