Book MORE than 5 days out.

I wouldn't want to tie my calendar up with a Hostshare booking more than 5-7 days out, MAX 10 days out, UNLESS I had some control of when that was allowed/not allowed. I have a very slow off season and it would be fine with me for those time periods, but I wouldn't be able to afford to do that in the ski season (where my place often books up more last minute if we get good snow that week, etc.)

Checkout the Frontier Airlines gowild pass. I personally like the short notice. (wish it was 7-10 days but no more than that) I often get last minute bookings via airbnb, so I would not want to offer my place on Hostshare over 10 days out.

More time to plan

I feel like 5 days out is way to short. Especially if you want to stay 5 days. I feel it would be better to have 10 days out with still a 5 day maximum stay time. 10 days is still last minute but gives a little more time to plan travel. The idea of host share is great but if it does not extend the booking period I'm afraid I will be canceling my membership after this year.

Hey Adam, thanks for the feedback! Would you be OK if other people were potentially booking your STR's 30 days in advance?

Michael Fisk Yes, if we could block out weekends/holidays

Michael Fisk I wouldn't be, personally. I think the 5 days out timeframe is good. I could see allowing 7 days out (1 week) at most. The only way it could be further out is if Hosts could block out special days like weekends and holidays/events on the hostshare calendar. But I think anyone with more than a couple units is not going to want to do that and you'll have more issues with hosts not honoring free stays. 5-7 days is ideal IMO.

Michael Fisk. I would not be interested in Hostshare guests booking 30 days in advance. 7-10 days would be my maximum. What prevents me from booking my own getaway is when only 1 or 2 days are available for the host property and I cannot extend it past the 5 day booking window without rebooking (if it becomes available) and paying an additional cleaning fee (the property would not need a second cleaning.
