Note! New booking rules were released in Version 2.3.0. Make sure that your old booking rules are successfully transformed into new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Bookings \u2192 Booking Rules menu to set your booking rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These rules allow you to set minimum and maximum check-in and check-out dates, minimum and maximum stay-in days for all or individual accommodations. Also, using this menu you\u2019ll be able to block the booking option for chosen accommodations at specific periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check-in rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may add as many rules as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select all available check-in days for chosen accommodation types and seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if guests can check in at any day and to any accommodation, just select All.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image48\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you want to add a custom booking rule for any particular accommodation type, just add a new rule. For example, check-in is not available on Monday for Classic Double room:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image9\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To make sure that it doesn\u2019t conflict with the rules for all other accommodation types, uncheck Classic Double room in the first rule applied for all other accommodations. Drag and drop the rules to set the needed priority:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image71\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the frontend, if a guest wants to check in on Monday, there won\u2019t be Classic Double room in the search results list, because we made check-in on Mondays unavailable for this accommodation type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check-out rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can do the same for the check-out days. Just set when guests can check out (can be applied to all accommodation types or to any individually). Make sure that rules don\u2019t conflict with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image74\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Minimum stay rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may set a minimum stay-in period for all accommodations or each one individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image5\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you want to set 2 days as a minim stay-in period for all accommodations, this will be shown in the search availability calendar as well (guest will be able to choose a check-out date only in 2 days after the check-in date):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image45\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maximum stay rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Set the maximum stay-in period for all accommodations or each one individually. For example, you may set maximum 15 days for all rooms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image18\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this case, a guest won\u2019t be able to choose more than 15 days for stay-in (and unavailable days will be crossed out in the search availability calendar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image69\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Block accommodation rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you need to make all accommodations or any specific accommodation type\/actual accommodation unavailable during a specific period of time, use \u201cBlock accommodation rules\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the restriction rules are: not check-in, not check-out and not stay-in (when you want to totally block accommodations\/a specific accommodation at a chosen period of time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image32\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The Not check-in<\/strong> rule marks the date as unavailable for check-in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Not check-out<\/strong> rule marks the date as unavailable for check-out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Not stay-in<\/strong> rule displays the date as blocked. This date is unavailable for check-out and check-in on the next date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Not stay-in<\/strong> with Not check-out<\/strong> rules completely block the selected date, additionally displaying the previous date as unavailable for check-in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    You may add as many rules as you want for each accommodation separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, if you rent out 2 apartments and want to totally block all for 8 days, simply choose needed dates and \u2018All\u2019. Then, in the search availability form, all the blocked dates will be crossed out (the dates are blocked from December, 20 till December, 28):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Minimum & Maximum advance reservation rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In the Minimum Advance reservation menu, you can set the minimum number of days before a booking can be made depending on the current date. In other words, in how many days before the chosen check-in date a guest can make a booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the Maximum Advance reservation menu, you can set the maximum number of days allowed for future reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If a guest wants to check in earlier or later than allowed by the rules you set, they won\u2019t be able to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can apply either rule to all or individual properties\/seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, let\u2019s designate in our Minimum advanced reservation booking rules that a booking can be made in minimum 15 nights before arrival:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"image75\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The frontend availability calendar will show unavailable days with the only 16th day as available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"image40\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If we set the maximum Advance reservation rule to, for example, 40 nights, the property will become unavailable for booking starting from the 41st night from the current date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"image21\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Guests will see the reason why the property is unavailable by hovering over unavailable days in a calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
