Having an accurate and up-to-date calendar, as well as competitive rates and clear house rules, is critical to giving your travelers a great experience with your vacation rental.
Calendar, rates, and house rules
• How to maintain an up-to-date calendar. Make sure you block off dates your property is unavailable and sync your calendars across different websites you use to manage your vacation rental. This will ensure you don’t disappoint eager travelers by having to decline or cancel mistaken or double bookings.
• How to ensure that your rates are accurate and competitive. Clear and accurate pricing is essential to attracting travelers. Make sure your rates, discounts, fees, and taxes are updated before you get that first booking. You can manage pricing on your dashboard through the rates calendar.
• How to maintain up-to-date house rules. House rules allow you to better define expectations for guests and help control who can request to book your property. You can update your house rules at any time. Reflect on moments where a house rule would have helped protect your home, reduced disruptions, or could have helped avoid hazards.
From your dashboard, go to “Property” then “Rules and policies”.
