'''<span style="color: #7aab0a;" >{{#fas:plus-square}} </span>New Feature: Optimize for Airbnb</span> '''
We've added a new channel management feature called Optimize for Airbnb — designed for properties that already perform well on Airbnb and want to increase their share of bookings on peak dates, without manually blocking calendars or reducing visibility on other channels. Please note that eligibility criteria apply and not all listings will receive opportunities.
When activated, selected dates remain open on Airbnb while other connected channels are temporarily restricted during the booking window. Once the window ends, availability is automatically restored to all channels.
*Fully optional — adjust or disable at any time
*Unsold dates reopen automatically after the booking window ends
For eligibility details and setup instructions, visit our wiki page: [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php/Optimise_for_Airbnb Optimise for Airbnb:]
