A calendar rule (formerly called "pricing rule") helps you control your listing's pricing, availability, and booking requirements over specific time periods. Calendar rules work on top of your base price to adjust rates, block dates, set minimum nights, or add preparation time between bookings.
Here are some examples of rules you can create but there are many more options than what is listed here:
Increase your prices by 20% on specific days of the week, for example, if you want to increase your weekend prices.
Decrease your prices by $10 every day of January, useful for adjusting seasonal prices.
Gradually decrease your prices as the date gets closer. This is great for offering a discount on last-minute bookings to fill your calendar.
Increase your listing price by $50 over a specific date for an event or holiday.
Decrease your price to $70 when there is an orphan period of two days or less between bookings.
All prices are set in the listing's currency as configured on the channel.
⚠️ Important: The term "pricing rule" has been replaced with "calendar rule" throughout Host Tools to better reflect that these rules control more than just pricing. They also manage availability, minimum nights, and preparation time.
