Instant Book and iGMS?

Dale Bertrand
Posted

This year I started using iGMS to manage my listings. It's been great but it has a limitation that AirBNB Instant Book must be turned on. This is a problem for me because I rent my homes weekly during the summer (Sunday to Sunday). BUT, I always list set them up as available for check in on any day of the week and for shorter stays so our properties show up in more searches (the description clearly states that we rent weekly during the summer).

Any suggestions?  I'm trying to avoid min stay and check in day restrictions that would limit our visibility when people search on AirBNB. And I want to have some control over who books (we like to avoid large parties of unrelated visitors).

 I'm thinking about keeping Instant Book but hiking my prices on AirBNB during the summer relative to VRBO. Or I could restrict the check in day to Sundays only with a 7 day min stay. I'm trying to avoid this.
