Set a maximum stay, not just a minimum

We have min stay already and it works for the weekends, but we need the other way too. In high season we dont want somebody taking a dorm bed for three weeks, we need the beds turning over for the short stays. Right now the only thing we can do is call the guest after they booked and that never ends well. A max nights per date in the pricing grid, same as min stay, would fix it, and it has to go to the booking sites too, not only our own booking page.

    Live for every property. There's a Max Stay row under Min Stay in the pricing grid. Nothing changes until you set one.

    Started. Juan Carlos, yes, the booking page will tell the guest the min and max nights for their arrival date instead of just showing nothing.

    Good. Please also show it to the guest on the booking page, otherwise they just see no rooms and leave

    On the roadmap. It'll sit next to Min Stay in the pricing grid.

    Looking at this. Our own booking page is the easy part. The booking sites are harder, they don't all take a max stay the same way, and one of them throws the whole update back if a value is outside its range. Want to get that right before we promise anything.
