Managing Availability (Hosts)

An accurate calendar means fewer declined inquiries and better visibility in search. Guests filter by dates — if your nights are wrong, you lose requests.

Setting Availability

You configure availability per unit:

• In the listing wizard (My Properties) when creating the listing
• Afterwards at any time by editing the property from your host dashboard

For each unit you can define:

• Blocked dates — maintenance, private use, seasonal closures
• Minimum stay — the shortest bookable period in nights
• Check-in window — the times guests may arrive
• Advance booking limit — how far ahead inquiries are accepted

How Booked Nights Work

1. A guest sends an inquiry for a period — nothing is blocked yet
2. You send a quote, the guest accepts
3. You confirm the stay — the system re-checks capacity and blocks the nights transactionally, so double bookings cannot happen
4. If a confirmed stay is cancelled, the nights are freed automatically

Tips

• Review your calendar before seasonal peaks (large construction projects nearby, regional demand peaks)
• Keep minimum stays realistic for worker crews — many book several weeks
• A confirmed booking always wins over an open inquiry: quote only for periods you can actually honor
