Add a gap between bookings

We need to implement a feature that ensures a buffer period between when a customer checks out of a property and when the next booking is available. For instance, if a customer leaves the property on September 29th, we want to ensure that the next booking is available on October 2nd or on specific days determined by the host’s convenience. Currently, customers can book the property on the same day they check out, which is not ideal. We need to implement this feature to improve the booking process and host convenience.

Hi,

This feature is already available with the Bookings extension, and I recommend that you read this doc How to add booking restrictions - HivePress Help Center for more details.

P.S. If you purchased a theme or extension, please enter the license key in the forum profile settings, this will enable the Premium Support badge and ensure a 24-hour turnaround time.

I did… it says how many days before booking date is need to make. But the issue i am facing is that we want to enforce a minimum 2-day gap between the check-out date of the previous guest and the available booking date. For example, if a guest checks out on the 5th of the month, the earliest available booking date for the same property will be the 8th of the month or later. This ensures that we have sufficient time for cleaning, maintenance, and preparation before welcoming our next guest.

Currently, when we enable a booking offset of 2 days, it blocks the next two days from today, rather than blocking the two days immediately following the check-out date of the previous booking.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there’s no such feature, but thanks for your suggestion, we’ll consider adding this feature.
