Set Booking Lead Time

You've probably heard about a billion times by know that your API-connected listing must use Instant Book. This is still true.

However, if you're unable to take last-minute bookings without your approval, there is a very useful tool available called Booking Lead Time.

Booking Lead Time prevents a guest from instantly booking your property within a set amount of days.

You can set Booking Lead Time to be:

• 24 hours
• 48 hours (2 days)
• 72 hours (3 days)
• 168 hours (7 days)

If you dont want people to book within these parameters under any circumstances then no further action is required.

However, there is a way for guests to request those stays without instantly booking them.

You can enable both your Booking Lead Time and your Request to Book settings.

• Log in to OneRooftop and click Properties on the left hand menu.
• Edit the property you'd like to have a discount applied
• Go to Channel Settings
• Click Airbnb Specific Settings button
• Scroll until you reach Airbnb Booking Lead Time
