Choose how far in advance guests can book your home

Increasing your date availability may lead to more search activity and potential booking opportunities. You can choose to make your calendar available for 3, 6, 9, 12, or 24 months from today's date. For example, if you set your availability to only 3 months, a guest can only book up to 3 months from today.

How to choose your availability window

Set your availability window on desktop

  1. Click Calendar and select the listing calendar you want to change
  2. Click Availability settings, then click Availability window
  3. Select how far in advance you want to allow booking
  4. Click Save

Allow guests to request bookings outside of your availability window

Find out how to allow guests to request bookings outside of your availability window if you’re open to more flexibility while still letting you choose which bookings work for you.

Nights are automatically opened to maintain your availability window

You don’t have to worry about manually adjusting your calendar. Nights will automatically be made available so that the availability window you’ve chosen is always open.

Nights you manually mark as open or blocked won’t be changed

Once you've marked specific nights as open or blocked on your calendar, those settings will stay the same, regardless of your availability window.
