Booking rules, rule-sets and gap nights

Under a listing → Availability (the General and Booking rules tabs), and in the calendar's right-hand column.

The rules

• Minimum and maximum nights — the shortest and longest stay a guest may book.
• Advance notice — how close to arrival a booking may be made.
• Preparation time — up to three nights blocked before and after every stay, for the turnover.
• Restricted check-in and Restricted checkout — the weekdays a stay may not start or end on.

They are checked at the moment of booking, on Kabora and on your own site, so a request that breaks one never reaches you.

Rule-sets

A rule-set is a named bundle — a minimum and maximum stay, the weekdays, and a price or discounts; *Summer weekends*, *Ski season* — that you put on a range of dates from the calendar: select the nights, choose the set, and every night in the range takes it. The same rule runs on the phone. Past assignments have their own read-only door, View past assignments, so what a night's rule was in March is still answerable in October.

Gap nights

When a minimum stay would strand nights between bookings that nobody could book, the calendar's Dead-gap nights review lists them, and each row offers Allow N-night to open that gap at the shorter minimum, with an Undo. Nothing is opened without you.
