457. Are Your Minimum Stay Rules Costing You Bookings?
Episode 457
We’re hearing it from hosts everywhere: “I want more bookings.”
But when we look behind the scenes, a big reason you’re missing out is your minimum stay requirements. You’re unintentionally telling guests “no” and pushing them to book with your competitors.
This episode is a deep dive into how your calendar settings might be working against you—without you even knowing it.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why Airbnb (and other OTAs) reward availability
- How your minimum stay rules create unbookable calendar gaps
- Choosing profitability over convenience (with action steps)
- Using dynamic pricing instead of stay restrictions to manage demand
- The mindset shift: You don’t set the rules—the market does
Your calendar should work for you—not against you.
Let’s make sure you’re not blocking bookings with outdated settings.
