This video provides a tip for short-term rental hosts to get longer bookings (over 30 days). The key is to turn off instant booking, as OTAs can't present your listing for a 30-day stay if there's a booking on day 21. After getting two long-term stays in a row, the host can turn Instant Book back on to fill any gaps in the calendar.

Key insights

  • Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) may not present your listing to guests searching for 30-day stays if your calendar has bookings within that period.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Don't expect to get longer bookings if your calendar is already cluttered with shorter stays, as OTAs may not show your listing to guests looking for extended stays.
