We're excited to announce a new update that enhances the booking management process for our hosts. To improve the hosting experience and give hosts more time to prepare between bookings, we have implemented a 10-day buffer on new bookings.
What’s New:
- 10-Day Booking Buffer:We've introduced a 10-day buffer that automatically blocks out ten days after each booking. This measure is designed to help prevent back-to-back bookings, allowing hosts ample time to manage their properties effectively.
- Visual Indicator:On both the host and admin interfaces, this buffer period will be indicated by a new lighter green color on the calendar. This visual cue makes it easy to see periods that are blocked off due to the buffer.
- Hostshare-Only Buffer:It’s important to note that this buffer is internal to Hostshare and does not affect calendar exports to Airbnb or other platforms. The buffer is purely a Hostshare feature to enhance our hosts' management capabilities without interfering with their other listing activities.
Support and Resources:
- Detailed Help Article:For more information on how the 10-day booking buffer works and how it can benefit you, please visit our help article.
- Onboarding Integration:We are also incorporating information about this new feature into our onboarding calls to ensure all new hosts understand how to utilize this buffer effectively.
Feedback and Adjustments:
We understand that each host's needs may vary, and we are open to feedback on this new feature. Should you have concerns about back-to-back bookings or if you need further clarification, we encourage you to reach out. We are committed to making necessary adjustments to ensure that this feature works for everyone.
Thank you, @Benjamin Willard, for your swift action in implementing this feature, and @Faith and @Landon for integrating it into our support and onboarding processes.
