Minimum Stay
The shortest stay length allowed for a booking.
Definition
Minimum Stay is The shortest stay length allowed for a booking. Teams usually run into it when demand changes with season, lead time, or stay restrictions and the team has to shape inventory rules around it.
What makes it useful is that these controls decide which reservations the property accepts and which revenue opportunities it leaves on the table. They matter most when availability is tight or the market is moving faster than the last pricing update.
Use cases
Use Minimum Stay to shape inventory rules around seasonality and booking lead time.
Review Minimum Stay when the team needs to explain why a stay was accepted, restricted, or priced differently.
Track Minimum Stay so operations can protect high-value dates from getting filled with the wrong stay pattern.
