Adding blocked periods

Is your rental closed because of a roof repair, a seasonal closure or any other reason? Add a blocked period, so guests can't book those dates.

Add a blocked period

  • Click and drag over the dates on the Timeline or on the calendar of a unit. You can also click on + Booking. On a phone or tablet, tap a date.

  • In the form, change the type from Booking to Blocked period.

  • Optionally, add a title, for example the reason for the closure.

  • Choose the status and check the dates.

  • Click on Confirm to save the blocked period.

Fields

FieldDescription
Blocked periodThe type of event. The same form also adds a Booking or a Note. Notes don't affect availability, so they're useful for reminders.
TitleThe title shown on the calendar, for example "Roof repair".
🟢 Confirmed / 🟠 PendingThe status of the blocked period. See below.
DatesThe first and last dates of the blocked period.

Confirmed or pending

  • Confirmed: the dates are closed. Guests can't book them.

  • Pending: the dates are not closed yet. Like dates with a pending booking, guests can still book them, as an instant booking or a booking request depending on your instant booking setting.

Change or remove a blocked period

  • To change the dates, drag the blocked period on the calendar, or drag its start or end to make it shorter or longer.

  • To change the status or title, click on the blocked period to open it.

  • To remove it, open the blocked period and click on Delete. Deleting can't be undone.
