Minimum night stay rules
complete
Quinn Hubertz
Similar to last-min discounts, create a set of customizable rules:
- GAP DAY rules: e.g. a user normally has a global 5 night min stay across the board, but wants a rule to say "for availability gaps within 5 days, automatically change the min night stay to 2 nights."
- TIME-BASED rules: e.g. a user normally has a global 5 night min stay across the board, but wants a rule to say "for any unbooked nights within 14 days, automatically change the min night stay to 2 nights."
- PRICE-BASED rules: e.g. a user normally has a global 5 night min stay across the board, but wants a rule to say "for any calendar with prices under $100, automatically change min night stay to 2 nights."
- DAY-SPECIFIC rules: Being able to set specific-minimum stay functionality for day ranges (days of the week, weekends, weekdays, etc.)
- MAXIMUM STAY rules: Being able to set a maximum stay for your listings.

Add a minimum stay feature that offer premium discount. Example if guest wants to book 1 night stay they can get 200% discount.

Jules Manuel: As a version 1, this would be a great start

Can we make this just a bit smarter? For example we have 3 nights min stay on weekends (Thursday, Friday and Sunday) but if someone booked Friday to Monday for example (which is OK) that Thursday now needs to be released manually. A rule like - If the min stay is not available for the day it should revert it to the next possible, so in the above case Thursday will be changed to 1. Another example if someone booked Saturday to Tuesday (again OK) then Thursday will be changed to 2 nights min and Friday to 1 night min

I agree, this would be a great feature.

It would be cool if dynamic minimum stays have an option of assigning a mininum stay contingent on a check-out the day of arrival or check-in day of departure. So lets say I would allow a 2 night rental so long as its touching an existing reservation or current vacant day (today for example). Also #3 in @Quinn's post (Price based minimum stay) would be amazing!

Increase the refresh frequency from current frequency (24 hours?) to something within a few hours (Ideally under 3 hours). Or even better run it on the listing calendar after a new reservation.
Manolo Diaz-Marta
Nai Chun Lei: I totally agree, at moment of new reservation or hourly, since this can happen intra-day at any moment.

Request to enhance this great feature so that
- It is possible to allow gap night functionality to apply or not to the date range minimum stay periods. Currently they are mutually exclusive.
- To generally enhance gap night functionality (as an option as not all users may want it) so that the min stay optimises availability to the gap in question - For example if the min stay is 3 days and there is a 3 day block before another stay then the 2 days and 1 day stays are available for the nights 2 and 3 of those 3 days. Currently it sets them all to 3 days which effectively means 2 and 1 day bookings are lost. (see screen shot - Mon 25 should ideally be a 2n min stay and 26th a 1 night min stay but right now both show 3d which hurts availability on the platforms which affects ranking.).

With the present functionality is it possible to require that: If the booking contains a Friday night, make sure it also requires the adjoining Saturday. And if a booking contains a Saturday night, make sure it requires the adjoining Friday?
I wasn't entirely sure based on the description of the new feature.

Custom rules include...
* Gap nights (e.g. automatically open a 1-day gap when there is normally a 2-night minimum stay)
* Last-minute bookings (e.g. 1-night min for last-min bookings within 7 days)
* Far-out bookings (e.g. 7-night min for stay dates more than 270 days away)
* Day of week (e.g. 2-night minimum during the week / 3-night min on the weekends)

Awesome! I'm not seeing this update yet in my dashboard- any chance we can be part of the beta test?
