Avoid same-day turnovers on certain days (i.e. holidays)

I had a guest book for check-out Christmas Day and another guest book for check-in the same day without me realizing it. Now my housekeeper has to work on Christmas Day, which she’s a bit disappointed with.

I’d rather not block Christmas Day entirely from the calendar, because that would prevent someone who wants to check in on, say, 12/21 and check out on 12/30 (which would be no problem) from staying.

It would be great if there was some setting to block off certain turnover days, and then if a guest books for a check-in or check-out on that day, the system would automatically put a one-night block on that night to prevent it from being a same-day turn.

I put it in my description and just not accept the bookings with Christmas day, Christmas eve or Thanksgiving turnover.

Yep, that's the best way to do that for now. We've got some ideas about how to make more general event blocks for stuff like this or general prep time rules on the todo list.

Hello,

has a function like this been implemented yet?

Thanks,

Danielle

Hi Danielle,

You can create a Season that encompasses the dates you're looking for, and then adjust arrival and departure for those dates within said Season. For example, here I've made a Christmas Season that is recurring only on 12/25 every year.

I can then create arrival and / or departure restrictions for that date within the same season.

On the Rates Calendar, you'll see that restriction applied.

I have a similar issue that this or a similar solution might work for...However, I use PriceLabs to handle pricing so that may be a nonstarter here, depending on how this stuff feeds to the different channels (especially Airbnb). 

I am trying to prohibit check in/out on Saturdays...my new cleaner wants one day off per week...Plus I'd prefer if guests didn't split my weekends.

This seemed simple enough until I made that change in Pricelabs and the result was that Airbnb blocked off all Saturdays on my calendar. So I had to delete the setting. 

Can I restrict check in/out only on Saturdays in OwnerRez and, if so, would that interfere somehow with the Pricelabs integration and/or cause the same issue with Airbnb/Vrbo?

Thanks
