Rule-sets are customizable, automated tools that manage pricing and availability across listings. They help hosts save time, maintain consistency, and adapt to booking scenarios like holidays, weekends, or last-minute gaps with minimal manual effort.
Creating Rule-sets
Rule-sets are created in the Calendar on Hospitable.
This can either be done from the multi-property calendar and applied to multiple properties at once, or from the single-property calendar.
Multi-property Calendar
Creating a rule-set in your multi-property calendar allows you to instantly apply the rule-set to dates across multiple properties!
🚨 Steps 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 are optional!
Navigate to the “Calendar” page on Hospitable.
In the list of properties, select a start date in the calendar of the top property.
Select an end date for the period in the calendar of the bottom property.
- Now you’ve selected a range of dates across multiple properties.In the tab which pops up on the right-hand side, select “Apply rule-set”.
Select the colour you want applied to dates in your calendar that fall under this rule-set.

If you are using Hospitable's Dynamic Pricing, then set a Min price and Max price.
Set minimum and maximum night stay.
Set check-in and/or check-out restrictions for days of the week within the selected period.
Set discount amounts for “Early bird”, “Last minute”, and “Length of stay” (Note: these only apply to Airbnb and Direct bookings).

Rule-sets and User Management/Secondary Users
Secondary users have access to creating, applying, and editing rule-sets if given the correct permissions.
Viewing rule-sets: Secondary users with "Calendar" > "Display pricing" permission or full access will be able to view rule-sets applied to the calendar.
Editing: Secondary users with "Calendar" > "Update pricing" and "Update availability and min stay" permissions, or those with full access, will be able to create, edit, and delete rule-sets.
Creating rule-sets on Airbnb
When you create a new rule-set on Airbnb, Hospitable will not pull that in and apply to your calendar.
Only rule-sets which were created on Airbnb before the Airbnb channel was connected to Hospitable, or before the rule-sets feature was enabled on Hospitable will be pulled in and managed on Hospitable.
🚨 Only one rule-set can apply to each date.
