How to put out a discount for 3 days?

[Elenise1]

Hi, I’m Elenise and love to host/sharing my place.

I recently got a inquire for 7 days and in the communication process I got a booking confirmation for 1 day in the middle. My question is how I make a discount for 3 days together in between the booked days. If I go 1 by 1 I’ll probably get individual days booked and I am interest to book them 3 to the same guest. 

I appreciate any help as I’m new in this community !!

Hello @Elenise1,

You can set a percentage discount for a specified number of nights by creating a rule set and then applying the rule to the desired range of dates.

To create this rule go to your calendar and click on the first date of the 3 days. In the box that appears on the right scroll down and click on the "Rule sets" box and select "Add rule-set". Then click on "Customise" for "Length of stay discounts" in the "Pricing" section. Then click on the "Add a custom discount" box and select "3 nights". Then click on the "3-night discount" and enter the percentage discount.

If you want to apply this discount to another 3 night range you can save this rule set by clicking on the "Save to reuse with other dates and listings" box at the bottom of the page and naming the rule.

Now click on "Save".

This will give a discount for a 3 night stay starting on that date but guests will still be able to book only 1 or 2 nights. If you also want to require a 3 night minimum for the date then edit the rule to select 3 nights minimum by clicking on "Customise" in the "Availability" section.

Hello @ Steve, 

I appreciate your help and followed it step by step. Seams that because I have just one listing it not aloud me to do on this way. I am feeling little frustrated as the just options I get is for a week or month with pre-selected discounts. I could place a day by day lower price, yet you must know the probability to get 3 different people for those 3 days. Thank you so much for your response.

Hello @Elenise1,

I also have one listing and I can set rules like that and can set a m inimum night's stay for any date.

Perhaps you should contact Airbnb support.

Type "contact airbnb" in the "Search the community" box on these forum pages where you posted your question. Scroll down a little in the list of suggestions that appears and click on the "Contact Airbnb: A Community Help Guide[UPDATED]" one. That lists phone numbers and ways to contact them via Twitter or Facebook.

Just talked with airbnb and there is a way to set up pricing for specific number of days. It's pretty easy. It's as follows: 

-open airbnb / click on your profile pic in the top right / from the scroll down menu choose ‘account’ / then ‘professional hosting tools’ / click on ‘manage’ / a screen will open which at the top says ‘you’re using professional hosting tools’

-then open ‘pricing’ as normal / open ‘length of stay discount’ – you can now set discounts for specific numbers of days, starting from 2 days.

Hello and thanks for your help.
I am not a professional. Does it affect something else this change?
Why there is not for individual host too this choice?

I wonder what the math is on this?  IF you install a discount on day 3 (say 5%)  is it applied like:

Day 1  - no discount

Day 2     "       "

Day 3     -5%

Day 4    -6%

Day 5    -7%    

Or if you book 5 days - do you get a total of 7 % discount for the entire booking   (5 days x 7%) ?
