How to add Accommodation Bookings

Minimum / Maximum booking window ( into the future ):
If today is March 1 and you set the minimum block bookable to 1 month into the future, then the first date a customer could book would be April 1. The same goes for the maximum booking window.

Restrict start and end days?:
If you have a weekly rental, but you only allow customers to start their rental on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, etc. This does not affect availability; other days are still available, they just cannot be selected as the day(s) that bookings start on.

Set Availability Range:
You can set up specific availability rules, such as availability for:

• Months
• Day of the week
• Time
• Specific date

Standard room base rate:
It is applied regardless of a customer’s choices on the booking form.

Standard room block rate:
It is the cost per block that was assigned in the General tab. If a customer books multiple blocks, this cost is multiplied by the number of blocks booked.

Display cost:
The cost is displayed to the user on the front end. Leave blank to have it calculated for you.
