457. Are Your Minimum Stay Rules Costing You Bookings?

Apr 24, 2025

We’re hearing it from hosts everywhere: “I want more bookings.”

But when we look behind the scenes, a big reason you’re missing out is your minimum stay requirements. You’re unintentionally telling guests “no” and pushing them to book with your competitors.

This episode is a deep dive into how your calendar settings might be working against you—without you even knowing it.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why Airbnb (and other OTAs) reward availability
  • How your minimum stay rules create unbookable calendar gaps
  • Choosing profitability over convenience (with action steps)
  • Using dynamic pricing instead of stay restrictions to manage demand
  • The mindset shift: You don’t set the rules—the market does

Your calendar should work for you—not against you.

Let’s make sure you’re not blocking bookings with outdated settings.
