Pricing
As the Nightly price also functions as the fall-back price for when no season or external rates apply, we recommend configuring your mid-season pricing in the nightly rate. You can amend the name accordingly.
To configure your nightly price:
- Go to your Main Menu in the top left corner and select Rentals.
- Select the rental you wish to edit and select Pricing.
- Now configure your nightly price using the following settings:
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
|
Base price |
Select the default currency for the rental. This will determine the currency in which you will see prices displayed in the rental's bookings in the reservation system. Then, enter the base price of your rental. |
|
Extra guest charge |
If you wish for the default pricing to apply only up to a certain number of guests whilst applying an additional charge for any subsequent guest, click on it to enter the extra charge per guest per night and after how many guests the charge will apply. |
|
Short stay price
|
If you wish to apply an extra charge when the stay is too short, click on it to enter the number of nights and the charge amount per night. Example - if you enter 2 nights, the short stay charge will apply to stays of 1 or 2 nights. 💡 Note: This setting does not override a minimum stay. If you set a minimum stay of 3 nights, the short stay will not allow guests to book for 1 or 2 nights. |
|
Length-of-stay prices
|
If you wish to offer a weekly, monthly price, or a price for a custom period, click + Add and enter the rate for that period. 💡 Note: If you have weekly and monthly rates set up on Booking.com, make sure to create the same rates on Lodgify so we can connect them. |
|
Fees |
Configure additional charges that are not included in the nightly price. They will be automatically added to the booking cost. If you wish to add an extra fee, click + Add and create a new fee. |
|
Taxes |
Add your local taxes and VAT, and choose whether to include VAT in the room price. Learn more about Sales Tax/VAT display. If you wish to add an extra fee, click + Add local tax or + Add Sales tax/VAT and set up your tax. |
|
Promotions |
If you wish to create special offers for certain periods or give a discount to certain guests by using a promotion code, click + Add and create your promotion. |
|
Add-ons |
If you wish to propose special services that can be booked directly together with the room booking, click + Add and create your add-on. |
|
Other information |
Add your tax information for Airbnb to collect, remit, and report taxes. Change the label of your nightly price. |

Availability
To change your booking restrictions:
- Go to your Main Menu in the top left corner and select Rentals.
- Select the rental you wish to edit and select Availability.
- Now configure your nightly price using the following settings:
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
|
Minimum stay |
Set a minimum stay requirement for all nights of your rental or for individual nights. The longest minimum stay requirement applicable during the entire booking period will be considered when determining the minimum length of stay required for a booking. If there are different minimum stay requirements for different dates within the booking period, the longest minimum stay requirement for the entire booking period will be applicable. 🔎 Example: Imagine you set a minimum stay of 2 nights for Monday and 3 nights for Tuesday. If a guest wants to check in on Monday, they will need to book a minimum stay from Monday to Thursday, adhering to the longest minimum stay requirement of 3 nights across the entire booking period. 💡 Note: If you have multiple room types, you can enter a minimum stay per weekday per room type. |
|
Preparation time |
If you wish to automatically block one or two days before and after each check-in/out, click on it and configure your preparation time. |
|
Booking window |
If you wish to restrict guests from booking too far in advance, click on it and choose how many days in advance guests can book. Note that it will apply to the OTAs, but you can set different booking windows for each channel in the Channel Manager section. |
|
Advance notice |
If you wish to limit how late in advance guests can make a reservation, click on it and select the latest booking time for this rental. |
|
Unavailable check-in/out days |
If you wish to restrict check-in and check-out to certain weekdays only, click on it and tick the days when check-in and check-out are not allowed. |
💡 Note: Make sure to select Save after configuring or editing the Availability settings.
