Stay rules

Stay rules control how long a guest can book and which days they may arrive or leave. They come in two layers: a listing-wide default and per-season overrides. There is no separate “weekend pricing” — weekdays only affect stay restrictions, not the rate.

Listing-wide defaults

Section titled “Listing-wide defaults”

Open a listing, go to the Property Facts tab, and set:

  • Minimum Stay — the fewest nights a guest may book.
  • Maximum Stay — the most nights a guest may book (0 = unlimited).

These apply to every date unless a season rule overrides them.

Seasonal stay rules

Section titled “Seasonal stay rules”

For rules that only apply during part of the year, open the listing’s Stay rules tab and click Create. Each rule has:

  • Season — the date range it covers. Like price periods, a rule is Recurring (repeats every year) or limited to a specific year.
  • Applies on — restrict the rule to certain weekdays. Leave on Every day, or pick specific days — e.g. only Saturdays to enforce Saturday-to-Saturday stays.
  • Minimum stay — nights required during this season. Leave empty to inherit the listing default.
  • Maximum stay — nights allowed during this season. Leave empty for no maximum.
  • No check-in (closed to arrival) — guests cannot start a stay on the covered dates/weekdays.
  • No check-out (closed to departure) — guests cannot check out on the covered dates/weekdays. This is matched against the departure day (the morning the guest leaves), not the last night they sleep over.

Closed-to-arrival and closed-to-departure are how you build turnover days — for example, allow arrivals only on Fridays in peak summer.

When rules overlap

Section titled “When rules overlap”

If two seasonal rules cover the same dates, Reynt resolves them like prices:

  • The narrower season wins in the days they share.
  • When ranges are otherwise equal, the rule with the most recent Effective from date wins.

The editor warns you inline when a new rule overlaps an existing one.

How the storefront enforces them

Section titled “How the storefront enforces them”

Stay rules are enforced in two places automatically:

  • On the booking calendar — nights that would violate the minimum/maximum or an arrival/departure restriction can’t be selected.
  • At checkout — a stay that breaks a rule is rejected before the booking is confirmed, so an out-of-policy booking can’t slip through.

You don’t publish anything separately; saving a rule takes effect on the storefront immediately.
