Blocking the ability to check in or check out on specific days of the week is a useful feature that lets you adjust the stay schedule to your preferences. Here's how to do it:
How to enable Check-in blocking and/or Check-out blocking?
1. Go to the Price list section in the menu, then click the Configuration tab or click the Settings button in the Set prices tab.
2. Click the Availability tab.
3. Enable the Check-in blocking and/or Check-out blocking option by selecting the appropriate button in the list of availability restrictions.
4. Save the changes.
Once activated, this option becomes available in the price editing window in your Price list.
How to set check-in blocking and/or check-out blocking?
Go to the main Price list view and edit the dates for which you want to make changes. Then select the days of the week on which the restriction should apply.
Remember that to make changes, you need to uncheck the Keep availability restrictions box.
Check-in blocking restriction:
The Check-in blocking restriction prevents guests from booking a stay that starts on the days of the week you selected.
Example:
If you set the Check-in blocking restriction for Sunday:
- Guests will not be able to book your property on any Sunday within the specified period.
- Guests will, however, be able to book the property on all days of the week except Sundays, because the check-in date falls on a date covered by this restriction.
Will the Check-in blocking restriction be sent to the Reservation System?
Yes
Will the Check-in blocking restriction be sent to Booking.com?
Yes. For both linked and unlinked plans, however, the restriction must be set separately for each plan.
Will the Check-in blocking restriction be sent to Airbnb?
Yes
Check-out blocking restriction:
The Check-out blocking restriction prevents guests from booking a stay ending on the date you selected.
Example:
If you set the Check-out blocking restriction for Friday:
- Guests will not be able to book your property if their stay ends on Friday.
- Guests will, however, be able to book the property on all other days, because the check-out date does not fall on a day covered by this restriction.

Will the Check-out blocking restriction be sent to Booking.com?

How to disable Check-in blocking or Check-out blocking?

With this option, you can adjust the stay schedule according to your preferences, creating more flexible conditions for you and your guests.
Tip: Flexibility in Moderation
The more restrictions you set, the more you tailor your offers to your needs. However, remember that your property will not be displayed in the results if it does not meet the restriction conditions. Overly restrictive settings may reduce the number of potential guests.
