Hello,
I going to describe a strategy that I implemented in the calendar for managing my Airbnb apartments some months ago that totally made a difference for my financial comfort and returns.
Before that, just a quick intro, I live in Brazil and I am deeply grateful to MJ and all the concepts that I learned with Unscripted and TMF . So, this is a small action that represent my give back...
I manage 2 small 1-dorm apartments in São Paulo, Brazil. It's the largest and richest town in Brazil, ~18 million people. It's the financial center, Business center and services center in the country.
So, going down to the strategy:
Settings -> Availability -> Trip Lenght -> Add another requirement/requisite
(my system is in Portuguese, so if someone could please adjust the correct names in English)
And then I add one requirement for each of the 3 categories I mentioned above:
So, by doing this, it means that you will not be accepting too short bookings (let's say 2 days) for periods that are still far in the future, which could "break" your calendar and prevent you from being exposed to a guest search that needs a longer stay (70 days, for example).
This gives you a much better cash flow forecast, because what will start to happen is that you will start receiving larger "blocks" of bookings. You will also be able to fine tune the rules for "lost" lonely 1 days, since you could be allowing 1-day bookings for days that are kind of lost between longer bookings.
Besides, this will heavily optimize your time answering the chat requests and will also support you to have higher prices!!
I hope this help you guys have a much better time and cash flow efficiency, as it happened to me!!
Kind regards,
Bruno Pires de Oliveira
PS: I know it may not be too clear now, but I will make improvements in this post as I re-read it more times...

I manage 2 small 1-dorm apartments in São Paulo, Brazil. It's the largest and richest town in Brazil, ~18 million people. It's the financial center, Business center and services center in the country.
So, going down to the strategy:
- MAIN GOAL: to not "break" the calendar with 2 or 3-day bookings in future period
- I created 3 categories for the Rules I use in the calendar:
- SHORT: less than 20 days to the date
- MID: between 21 and 60 days
- LONG: more that 60 days
Settings -> Availability -> Trip Lenght -> Add another requirement/requisite
(my system is in Portuguese, so if someone could please adjust the correct names in English)
And then I add one requirement for each of the 3 categories I mentioned above:
- SHORT: Minimum of 2 days
- MID: Minimum of 10 days
- LONG: MINIMUM of 60 days
So, by doing this, it means that you will not be accepting too short bookings (let's say 2 days) for periods that are still far in the future, which could "break" your calendar and prevent you from being exposed to a guest search that needs a longer stay (70 days, for example).
