Hosts connected to Airbnb accounts via our upgraded PMS connection can now manage availability rules for their properties directly from Hospitable. These changes are also pushed to any connected Booking.com, VRBO, and Direct listings automatically.

The Availability rules page can be found by opening any of your properties in Hospitable and looking an the inner left sidebar. If you're on a limited connection, you will not have access to this page.

The maximum length of stay is a required value for Airbnb. Your max stay must be longer than any minimum stay you set from the Hospitable calendar. The maximum value you can set is 1125 days.

In order for Airbnb's "Allow requests for longer stays" setting to work, you must set this to 28 nights or longer.

By default, guests will not be able to book shorter than this minimum stay. This can be changed for individual dates.

You can set specific days of the week that are available for stay-through but do not allow guests to check in or check out.

Some hosts use this feature in combination with minimum length of stay to make sure they protect valuable weekend stays by, for example not allowing checkout on Saturday and not allowing check-in on Sunday.

You can also restrict check-in and checkout for specific days from Hospitable's calendar. This is a good feature to use to restrict checkout on holidays, when it can be difficult to find a cleaner.

This rule lets you schedule turnover time between stays by automatically blocking one or two days before and after each new reservation. To disable the feature, set the preparation time to None.

What is the minimum lead time you need between a booking and check-in? You can choose from the following options:

Airbnb-only: If you toggle on the option to Allow requests with shorter notice, your Airbnb calendar will still appear as bookable inside the advance notice window, but instant book will be disabled. Instead, guests can only make a booking request.

Other booking platforms: There may be a slight delay (potentially up to 4 hours) in setting Advance Notice blocks on Vrbo and Booking.com.

This feature controls how far in advance your guests can make bookings. The minimum availability window is one month and the maximum is 24 months.

Alternatively, you can disable the feature by setting your availability window to None, which means your calendar defaults to available.
