Need to close dates for a repair, housekeeping, or a stay of your own? Block them in Calendar, and Hosperly marks them as unavailable. You can block dates for one property, or for many dates and properties at once with Bulk update.

Setting your availability for the first time? Start with Set your initial availability.


Block dates in Calendar

• Block dates for one property

Use this for a few dates on one property.

  1. In Calendar, find the property's row.

  2. Select the date you want to block. To block a few days in a row, such as three days, drag across them.

  3. Select Block date. Hosperly marks the selected dates as unavailable.

• Block many dates or properties at once

Use Bulk update for a long period, or to block the same dates on several properties.

Step 1: Choose the days and properties

In Calendar, select Bulk update.

Under Date range, choose the dates you want to block, or select Only specific days to pick particular days.

⚠️ Important: Your changes apply to every selected day and property. Check the count of days and properties before you continue.

When the selection looks right, select Continue.

Step 2: Block the dates

Select Block date. Choose a Blocking reason: Housekeeping, Repairs, Personal use, or Other. You can also add a note. Only your team sees the note.

Step 3: Review and apply your changes

Hosperly shows the changes before it applies them. Review them, then confirm to update your calendar.


What happens after you block dates

Guests can't book the blocked dates. After a property is live, Hosperly sends the change to your connected channels automatically.


How do I unblock dates?

You can open blocked dates again at any time:

  1. In Calendar, select the blocked dates on the property's row.

  2. Select Unblock dates.

  3. Select Make 3 nights available again. The number matches the nights you selected.

Guests can then book those dates again.
