[GUIDE] Calendar Tools - Change or Correct Minimum Night Stay Setting

Some Hosts have found with the new Calendar tools that the setting for Minimum Night Stays has changed a little.   Even though the minimum stay is set on the main calendar page, the setting does not always function correctly when guests are reserving.   For example, if the Minimum night stay is set to 2 nights, the calendar accepts reservations for 1 night.  This results in stays that may be less than desired and may affect income margins.

There is an additional step needed to complete the desired change.  Steps to complete this are below.    Professional Hosting Tools is not required for this setting.

 

Steps: 

 Using your computer:

1. From the Dashboard, select Calendar.

2. If you have multiple listings, select the one you want to work on.  You will need to do this for each listing you want to change.


3. Find Availability in the right-hand sidebar

8. Click Save

After completing these steps, double-check your listing by scrolling down to the calendar and test to try booking your place.  It should show the correct nights minimum.

@Miguel1423  Very good to know.  When you say, "Click the number for each day and delete it," do you mean that the box should then be blank, like this?

Yes @Ann72 , it should be blank and then it will pick up the number on your main setting.
