Learn how to secure longer bookings for your short-term rental by disabling Instant Book. This strategy prevents gaps that prevent OTAs from showing your listing for extended stays, crucial for maximizing occupancy and income.

Key insights

  • Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb and Vrbo cannot present your listing to someone looking for a 30-day stay if you have any booking that falls within that 30-day period.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Keeping Instant Book on can prevent your listing from being shown to guests searching for stays over 30 days if there's any booking within that 30-day window, hindering longer-term bookings.
