Welcome to Tokeet’s Podcast — your trusted source for insights, trends, and strategies shaping the vacation rental industry. Each episode features expert interviews, data-driven analysis, and practical tips to help property managers grow their businesses, improve guest experiences, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market. Whether you’re new to short-term rentals or managing a large portfolio, tune in to stay informed and inspired.
Some days just don’t work for a guest arrival, whether it’s a holiday, a maintenance window, or a turnover day your team can’t cover. This episode walks through check-in and check-out restrictions, the most requested feature in AdvanceCM, now live in the Rentals module. You’ll hear how to block arrivals or departures for a date range, such as December 24 to 26, and how to allow check-ins only on the weekdays you choose. We also cover channel-specific rules, like keeping Airbnb to Friday and Saturday arrivals while direct bookings stay open through Sunday. Finally, we explain what to check before switching rules on, from existing reservations to sync time and visibility on booking sites.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Block check-ins or check-outs for any date range
✅ Limit arrivals to the weekdays you choose
✅ Set different rules for each booking channel
✅ Existing reservations stay unchanged
✅ More restrictions mean fewer guests can book, so review rules each season
