Not Available Dates

Block out dates when your business is completely closed

What does this policy do?

Block specific dates when you cannot take any bookings. These dates are shown as unavailable to clients — they cannot book a stay that overlaps with a blocked date. Use this for holidays, personal time, facility maintenance, etc.

How it works

Click dates to block

Toggle individual dates on the calendar — click once to block, click again to unblock

Client visibility

Blocked dates appear greyed out or crossed out on the client booking calendar

Existing bookings

Blocking a date doesn't automatically cancel existing bookings on that date — handle those manually

Tips

Block your holiday dates well in advance so clients can plan around them.

Different from bank holidays — Not Available dates mean absolutely no bookings.

Consider using this alongside daycare restrictions for fine-grained availability control.
