📅 Hostify Calendar – What’s New

We’ve released a brand new version of the Hostify Calendar, packed with powerful improvements to give you more control, flexibility, and speed.

🌟 Key Improvements

1. LOS (Length of Stay) Pricing

You can now set pricing rules based on the length of stay.

  • Offer discounts for longer bookings.

  • Add premiums for shorter stays.

  • LOS rules are visible directly in the Multi-Calendar.

2. Minimum Booking Value

Protect your revenue by setting a minimum total booking amount.

  • Example: If you set the minimum booking value to $300, reservations below this threshold won’t be confirmed — even if nightly discounts are applied.

  • This ensures that every booking meets your minimum revenue requirements.

3. Improved Rolling Calendar

The calendar is now based on your availability window (from the Policies tab):

  • It automatically opens periods between your minimum and maximum advance notice.
    ​

  • Availability can be set to 3 states:

    1. Default – per availability window (includes iCal imports & prep time).

    2. Unavailable (Override) – explicitly blocked, highest priority. ( Red color)

    3. Available (Override) – explicitly opened, even if normally blocked. ( Green color)

4. Faster Sync & Bulk Updates

  • Updates are sent to channels in near real-time.

  • Bulk updates from dynamic pricing tools are processed smoothly.

  • Improved stability and performance for calendar operations.

✅ Why It Matters

With the new calendar, you get:

  • More pricing flexibility with LOS rules.

  • Guaranteed minimum revenue per booking.

  • Smarter availability management with rolling windows.

  • Faster, more reliable updates across all channels.
