How to select check-in & check-out restrictions for your Rental?

Let’s say that you want your Rental property to be unavailable for check-in or check-out (or even both) for certain days or a specific date range, such as Tuesdays and Wednesdays, or to manage turnover restrictions effectively. Using Hosthub, you can easily apply these settings and more!

Go to Rate Management → Exceptions → Advanced Settings

• Choose the dates range that you want this to be applied to. You can customize a range wherever applicable to ensure your restrictions perfectly align with your rental's needs.
• Select the days (in this example Tuesday & Wednesday) For instance, you might block weekends to ensure smooth turnovers or any other high-demand day.
• Select Yes for Block arrival and Block departure This allows you to completely restrict both arrivals and departures for the specified days.
• Click on Preview and review the settings thoroughly before clicking on Publish to apply changes.

Using Hosthub’s features, you can apply various check-in and check-out restrictions, such as blocking a Sunday turnover or customizing rates for specific days.

For instance, if you want to reserve Saturdays for check-ins and check-outs, ensure you navigate to Advanced Settings to edit rates and restrictions accordingly.

Hosthub also allows you to block only check-ins or only check-outs by specifying your preferences in the settings menu.

To block check-outs on a specific day, such as Sundays, navigate to Exceptions and define the settings in Advanced Settings accordingly.

Block Sundays for both arrivals and departures.
Allow only Saturday check-ins while prohibiting all other arrivals/departures during the week.

Blocking departures on specific dates (e.g. public holidays)

To block guest departures on specific dates, go to Rate Management → Exceptions, select the date, open Advanced Settings, set Block departure to Yes, then click Preview and Publish. Repeat for each date you want to restrict. You can set all dates in advance for the coming months so you don't need to return to them.

There is currently no setting to automatically block departures on all official public holidays, so each date must be set manually.

Note for websites using MotoPress: the departure block must also be set inside the MotoPress plugin itself, as Exceptions do not carry over to it.
