How do I set up check-in and check-out day and time restrictions for my property?

At Holidu, managing when guests can arrive and depart is essential for smooth operations. You can set both check-in and check-out days (which days of the week guests can book) and check-in and check-out times (the specific hours for arrival and departure). While restrictions help with property management, we recommend offering maximum flexibility to improve your booking chances and guest satisfaction.

Setting Check-in and Check-out Times

Follow these steps to configure your preferred check-in and check-out hours:

1. Log in to your Holidu account and select the property you want to edit.
2. Navigate to Configuration and then General Info.
3. Scroll down to the Check-in and Check-out time section.
4. Click Edit.
5. Enter your preferred check-in window (for example, 16:00–20:00) and check-out time (for example, 10:00).
6. Click Save to confirm your settings.

Setting Check-in and Check-out Day Restrictions

You can configure which days guests are allowed to check in and check out using either the Pricing section or the Calendar section.

From the Pricing Section

1. Go to Configuration on the left-hand side and scroll down to click on Pricing.
2. Find the season you want to update and click Edit.
3. Select the specific days you want to allow for check-in and check-out, or click Select/Deselect all to apply settings to the entire week.
4. Click Save to apply your changes.

From the Calendar Section

1. Go to Calendar on the left-hand side and select the time period you wish to modify.
2. On the right side, you will see the season with an Edit option—click it.
3. Choose the days you want to allow for check-in and check-out by selecting specific days or clicking Select/Deselect all.
4. Click Save to finalize your settings.

Why Flexibility Matters

By controlling both the days and hours for check-in and check-out, you ensure smooth property turnover while keeping your listing attractive to a wide range of travelers. Guests appreciate flexibility, and properties with fewer restrictions typically receive more bookings and better reviews.
