Managing availability is chaos.

A single Saturday booking kills your whole week. Orphan nights pile up between reservations. You’re manually adjusting minimums for holidays, weekends, and slow seasons. The average property loses 91 nights per year to gaps that could have been filled with smarter rules.

The Solution

Strategic rules. Maximum revenue.

Stop leaving money on the table. Set 3-night weekend minimums to protect your best days. Create seasonal overrides that tighten in peak season and loosen when you need bookings. Apply date-specific rules directly from your calendar.

Properties using smart booking rules see 20-30% higher occupancy. That’s the difference between hoping guests book the right dates and engineering your calendar for profit.

occupancy with gap filling

Set your baseline rules.

Define minimum stays, weekend requirements, booking windows, and turnover gaps for each property.

Layer in strategic overrides.

Watch occupancy climb.

Rules enforce themselves. No rejections. No orphan nights. Just a calendar that works harder.

Weekend Protection

Stop losing weekends.

A single Saturday-night booking blocks your best earning days. Require 2-3 nights on weekends to capture full value. Set 7-night minimums for holiday weeks.
