Set your initial availability

Block the dates you can't take bookings, then confirm your availability.

Written by Kiriaki

Before you connect a booking channel, tell Hosperly which dates are already unavailable. When you save, Hosperly blocks those dates and opens all the others.

⚠️ Important: Until you confirm availability, every date on the property's calendar stays blocked. Connecting a channel doesn't open them.


Set your availability

Step 1: Open the availability wizard

On Home, select Set availability on your property card to open the Availability wizard. If you've already confirmed it once, select Edit instead.

Step 2: Block the dates you can't take bookings

Choose one of two tabs:

• Manually block dates

Select a start date and an end date for each period when the property is unavailable. Hosperly blocks each period as soon as both dates are set, so there's no button to select.

• Import from Airbnb

If the property is already on Airbnb, paste its listing URL and select Fetch blocked dates. Hosperly imports only the blocked dates. It doesn't import prices or bookings.

If you manage identical rooms, such as hotel rooms, you can also block only some of the rooms.

If the property has no dates to block, select No blocked dates at the bottom.

Step 3: Check the calendar preview

The 12-month calendar on the right shows the dates you've blocked. Check that they match the dates you meant to block.

Step 4: Save your availability

Select Save availability. If the property has no dates to block, select No blocked dates.


What happens after you save

Hosperly opens all the other dates on the property's calendar, except the ones you blocked and the ones that are already booked. The property's card on Home then shows Availability set.


How do I change my availability later?

You can block dates, or open them again, at any time in Calendar.

  • One date, or a few days in a row: Select the date on the property’s row, and choose Block date. To block several days in a row, drag across them.

  • Many dates or properties at once: Select Bulk update.

After the property is live, Hosperly sends each change to your connected channels automatically.
