What are some strategies you recommend to avoid Saturday check-in or check-outs splitting the weekend? 

My thought was to block Saturday check-in/check out up until a few days before that date, allowing me to capitalize on bookings that may include the Saturday. Then opening it up last minute (within a few days) for check-in/check-out if it’s still not booked. PriceLabs doesn’t have this feature currently but they told me it’s likely coming. 

So I’m considering blocking Saturday check-in/check-outs entirely. 

What are your strategies or restrictions to avoid weekend splits? 

Why do you discourage Airbnb? 

What channel pricing ratio do you use on your pms? Currently I have Vrbo 115% of Airbnb price, and booking.com 140%. 

I would like the listings to be similar in price across all platforms, but since they won’t be exactly to the dollar, I’d prefer Airbnb and vrbo to be the cheaper option over booking.com. I have not heard great things about booking.com, so if someone is price shopping, I’d prefer them to book the cheaper option through Airbnb or vrbo.

So, what’s your pricing ratio structure on your pms?
