Hospitable's calendar allows you to restrict check-in or checkout for specific days across all of your connected channels. This means that you now have control over exactly how your available days can be used, whether they're available for guests to check-in, checkout or just stay through. This feature becomes particularly powerful when managing bookings across multiple platforms, ensuring consistency and avoiding scheduling conflicts.
How to Update Check-in and Checkout Restrictions
To adjust your availability and set check-in or checkout restrictions:
Click on any date (or series of dates) on your single or multi-property Calendar. When you set a day as Available, you'll see the option to mark Check-in and Checkout as available or restricted:
If your selected range of dates and properties all have the same availability setting, we'll display the value; if the values differ, we don't show any value. If you want to check the current setting for a date, try selecting only a single date and single property.
Make any changes by clicking on the X (to block Check-ins or Checkouts) or checkmark (to allow Check-ins or Checkouts).
Note: You cannot make edits if that date already has a reservation. For example, if a guest is checking out on June 15, you will be unable to restrict Checkouts for that date.
Additionally, for maintaining consistency and preventing conflicts, avoid making manual check-in or checkout adjustments directly on external platforms like Airbnb or Vrbo; centralize these changes within Hospitable.Press Save.
Troubleshooting Scenarios
If restrictions applied in Hospitable don't align with expected availability, check connected platforms like Airbnb for overlapping rules. External settings from Airbnb or third-party integrations might override your preferences. To resolve these issues, adjust connected platform settings or rule sets accordingly.
