Once again being penalized for taking a one week break from hosting

Someone here suggested the strategy of creating a rule set for the dates. So instead of blocking you make it impossible for anyone to book. For example you put that the minimum booking for that week is 8 days. So the calendar looks open but no one can actually book in that week. I did that recently for 22 day direct pay stay.

That is fascinating. I always take a break the first week in September and this year has been the worst ever for slow bookings (No bookings coming at all - #19 by Magwitch)

Forgive my ageing brain but how does BIB work? Say I wanted 10 days off, so I would set the calendar during that time for 11 days minimum? This is GENIUS. I wish I’d known about this before. I have a direct booking this week so I’m going to try this strategy out right away.

edit I’ve worked out what you meant… it’s exactly what I have this week and what I’m doing
My excuse: my back has gone and I’m hobbling around feeling a bit demented.
Today I was reminded about that classic Billy Connelly quip about knowing you’re getting old when…
“You drop something on the floor and think, what else can I be doing here while I’m down here?”
