You can manually set the minimum length of stay for certain dates in the Calendar. Manual changes to the minimum night stay will be pushed to all your listings within that property immediately, regardless of sub-sync settings.
Keep in mind, that changes made in external pricing tools like PriceLabs or Beyond Pricing can affect or override these manual adjustments.
Managing minimum night stays is important for maintaining control of your property's availability and enforcing booking policies. By setting appropriate minimum night stay policies, you can optimize your property's occupancy while aligning with your pricing strategy.
Manually Set the Minimum Length of Stay
Go to Calendar.
Click on the date you wish to change twice (or, to select a series of dates, click on a start date and an end date).
If you select more than one week, we will show a day of the week selection, with all dates selected by default. If you only want your minimum length of stay updates to apply to specific days of the week, deselect the unwanted days.
In the example shown in this screenshot, changes will only apply to weekend dates (Friday and Saturday).
Enter the value in the Minimum length of stay field.
Click Save.
However, note that manual settings here might be overridden by configurations from external dynamic pricing tools. Verify external tool settings to ensure consistency.
Minimum Nights Stay Sync for Vrbo
If you have Vrbo listings, check that minimum night stay sync is enabled, to ensure any changes made to your Hospitable calendar are pushed to Vrbo. Minimum night stay settings are pushed to all other platforms by default.
Managing Minimum Night Settings with PriceLabs or Other Dynamic Pricing Tools
If you use PriceLabs or other dynamic pricing tools for dynamic pricing, it is essential to manage the minimum night stay (MNS) settings within that tool.
Updates coming from the dynamic pricing tool supersede those set directly in Hospitable. Make sure to verify all configurations for applying consistent minimum stays.
Changes made in PriceLabs are synchronized with Hospitable and can overwrite any adjustments you make in your Hospitable calendar.
To manage these settings effectively:
Log in to PriceLabs: Navigate to your property or listing and access the settings.
Adjust Minimum Stays: Modify global, custom, or seasonal minimum night stays as required. For example, set a 2-night minimum for specific dates as needed.
Sync Changes: Click the sync button in PriceLabs to push updated settings to Hospitable and other connected platforms.
If you need specific control over weekends or special days, configure dedicated rules in your pricing tool. These settings ensure properties comply with intended booking windows.
