How to set a minimum stay for specific dates like Christmas and New Year

Hi all,

 

I'm a new host, after a frustrating experience with the support help chat. I finally work out myself how to set the availability of specific dates. I have Instant Booking on, minimum one night during the week and two at the weekend set for my listing.  With the Christmas and New Year holidays coming up I didn't want a guest to be able to book for one night only over the holiday period. Not to forget I made this short screen capture showing how to set a minimum stay for three nights and share it to help any other hosts struggling as I did: https://www.screencast.com/t/cj4ocDW8KX

 

Best regards,

 

Kevin

Hi, @Kevin1151 go to your calendar and select the dates, after you select them you can change the minimum number of nights and the prices for those nights if you want to.

I thought that would be the logical way to do it, but I can't see how? My Calendar is below is yours the same? I have Smart pricing on, and it doesn't let me set a minimum of three or more nights for a specific number of days.

Hi

looking at my calendars and the explanation of smart pricing - it will set prices and you can override these but the minimum nights / no checkout on a specific day etc looks like they are locked in when you use this option.

I have not switched on this and can select an extended set of rules for specific days.

Hope it helps
