In this episode, Neil addresses a common concern among potential Airbnb hosts: the fear of losing personal freedom due to constant guest turnover. Neil emphasises that, contrary to this belief, hosts have complete control over their booking calendars. He discusses three key aspects of managing an Airbnb listing: setting availability, determining the length of guest stays, and establishing notice periods for bookings. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hosts have complete control over their Airbnb calendar, allowing them to decide when their listing is open for bookings. They can keep the calendar dormant until they are ready to host and can block out dates for personal use or vacations. Hosts can define both minimum and maximum stay durations for guests. This helps manage turnover costs and workload, allowing hosts to optimise their profitability by reducing the frequency of bookings. Airbnb allows hosts to set notice periods for bookings, ensuring they have adequate time to prepare the property between guests. This feature helps avoid last-minute surprises and ensures a smooth transition between bookings. Hosts can specify which days guests can check in, allowing for greater control over their schedule. This can be particularly useful for hosts who want to keep weekends free or align bookings with their personal availability. Understanding and utilising the various settings on the Airbnb calendar empowers hosts to run their business on their own terms. This flexibility allows them to balance hosting with personal life, ensuring that their Airbnb experience is enjoyable and profitable. BEST MOMENTS "The belief is that running an Airbnb business is like running a full-time hotel with a revolving door of strangers coming and going and no personal freedom." "When you understand how to use these basic calendar controls, it will feel like you are running your Airbnb business, not the other way around." "You can set check-in days to be Mondays and Tuesdays only, with a minimum stay of two nights, if you choose." "You can limit check-in days, block out specific times such as weekends, pause listings when life calls for it, or just want some time off." "Running an Airbnb business does not mean you're handing over your life to the whim of your guests."
