Booking Rules define the options and rules applying to all bookings or bookings within a certain period. To define your booking rules go to SETTINGS-> PROPERTIES ->BOOKING RULES You have following options:
- Normal Bookings -the booking type for normal bookings.If a booking includes normal and near term dates the booking type will be as set for near term dates. If a booking includes normal and exceptional dates the booking type will be as set for exceptional dates.
- Near Term Bookings - You can select how many days in advance to consider a near term booking and the style of booking completion for near term bookings. You may use a different strategy than your normal bookings. If a booking includes near term and exceptional dates the booking type will be as set for exceptional dates.
- Exceptional Period Booking - The exceptional period is a period you can define to use a special booking style or blackout period. It includes all dates between the first and last night. This may be used to easily blackout a date range. Another example would be to only accept On Request bookings during the exceptional period while still accepting Automatic bookings at other times.
Rules you can set are:
-Blackout period - no new bookings accepted -No Deposit - automatic confirmed booking with no deposit -Request Only - booking to be confirmed manually -Request CC - request only with Credit Card collection -Credit Card - number collected but not charged -Deposit Payment 1 - immediately to your paypal account -Deposit Payment 2 - immediately to your paypal account
- On Request Bookings - Bookings that have to be confirmed manually.

You can protect yourself from spam via your booking page.
- Set "On Screen Captcha code" to "Must be Entred" so your guests will have to enter a captcha code to proceed the booking
- Set "Code Sent to Email Address" to "Must be Entred" and your guest will only be able to proceed the booking after they enter a code that has been automatically sent to them.
