How to set availability window for one of your channel listings

Availability window is a setting that allows hosts to specify the amount of time their rental will be available for customers to book. By setting availability window, hosts can ensure that their rentals are not available for booking for longer than necessary and do not miss out on potential opportunities due to changes in market conditions. Hosts are able to maintain their rental availability in the desired condition with Hosthub and be sure that their rental always has the potential to receive bookings.

As this is a critical setting for many hosts that do not want to have their rentals available for long time and miss opportunities due to changes in market conditions, providing a way to set it from Hosthub is a very useful addition.

Applying availability window at the rental level applies the same setting to all channel listings that are linked to this rental.

However, sometimes hosts need to set specific availability windows for one or more of their channel listings, This is in order to be able to control the availability for each channel listing separately according to their hosting policies. This can be done in Hosthub by setting a different availability window for each one of the channel listings if needed.

Note that when you are setting availability window for a specific channel listing then this value overrides the availability window that have been set at the linked rental level. E.g. if you set availability window for Rental A to 12 months and then you set availability window of the Rental A Airbnb listing to 6 months, then the availability window will be 6 months in Airbnb and 12 months in all other channels the Rental A is connected to.

Availability window can be set at the channel listing level as follows:

• Go to one of your channels and press View.
• Go to the list of listings for this channel, select the channel listing for which you want to set availability window and press Edit listing.
• In the edit form set the Availability window field to the period you want to apply for this rental. You can select one of the following settings.Inherit from rental: The availability window for this channel listing will be set to the period defined at the Rental level for the rental that is linked with this listing.
• No window: In that case no availability window will be applied and your rental will be open to be booked for all future dates.
• Three months: The rental will not be available for booking for days that exceed the next 3 months.
• Six months: The rental will not be available for booking for days that exceed the next 6 months.
• Nine months: The rental will not be available for booking for days that exceed the next 9 months
• Twelve months: The rental will not be available for booking for days that exceed the next 12 months.
• Eighteen months: The rental will not be available for booking for days that exceed the next 18 months.
• Twenty four months: The rental will not be available for booking for days that exceed the next 24 months.

After the Availability window is set and saved, it will be automatically synced only with the listing in the selected channel.

Eighteen months Availability window is not supported for Airbnb channels. If it is set in an Airbnb channel listing then the availability window will automatically be set to Twelve months
