Stopping a room from being rented the next day

[Lauren Schwartz]

I know that this is not standard, but is there a way to stop a room from being booked on the day that someone is checking out of that room. So for example, someone reserves the room for Tuesday night to checkout Wednesday – I need to have that room blocked for booking on Wednesday by a new customer.

Hi Lauren,

Thank your for your question. You may adjust style to lock check in and check out dates from selection in a date picker e.g.

.datepick-popup .mphb-date-check-out,.datepick-popup .mphb-date-check-in{
  pointer-events:none;
  text-decoration:line-through !important;
}

best regards,

Not sure how this helps. I need something automatic when a room search is done … along the lines of

if this room has someone checking out on this date
then
do not show this room as available for booking today

Hi Lauren,

This style makes it impossible to select a date of booking checkout as a check-in date to search. You can try.

This style seems to be misconfigured. Should it be:

.datepick-popup .mphb-date-check-out,.datepick-popup .mphb-date-check-in{
pointer-events:none;
text-decoration:line-through !important;
}

And if so, this does not work. I have 20 rooms. If room 16 has someone checking out on July 1 then no one should be able to check in to room 16 on July 1st – not all of the rooms, just the one room that has a guest leaving on that day.

Hi Lauren,

Thank you for note – I’ve updated the style and now it looks properly.

Could you apply the style and provide a link or screenshot to display the case you described?

Best regards,

Hi. The case is that I have two reservations already for July 16th with the people checking out July 17th. Their assigned rooms are Single21 and double 14. I need people to be able to check-in on July 17th but NOT be assigned single 21 or double 14. I have applied the style but it doesn’t do anything because my calendar is on one page that searches all rooms – the customer is not on the page of a specific room – so the css doesn’t do anything. I think I need something that is done through the php, not just a style.

Hi Lauren,

I’d ask you to submit a request as I can not know whether Single21 and double 14 are accommodation types or accommodations of single type? We need to check it on your site to understand clearly your request. Thanks you for understanding.

best regards,
J. Davis

As I stated above, these are the accommodations, not the accommodation type. I have two accommodation types: “Single” and “Double”. I have 21 rooms: 13 Double Rooms and 8 Single Rooms that are named “double01”, “double02”, “double03”, etc. AND “single14”, “single15”, “single16”, etc.

When someone is staying in “double03” starting on July 9 and checking out on July 10 I do not want another customer to be able to book/check-in to “double03” on July 10 as the room will not be ready for them. This room should only be bookable starting the next day after someone checks out – in this case July 11th.

Hi Lauren,

Thank you for clarification. Then I guess the solution I sent should work as it won’t allow to select July 10 as check-in date if someone checks-out this day. And it would restrict booking automatically once you add that code. Let me know if it helps.

best regards,

hi, I have the latest version recently purchased. But the “booking rules” are not synchronized on the otas? (if I block a date with a rule, is it not synchronized to the otas as well?
Then tripadvisor does not accept the link of the calendar of my site. how can I do?
