How long in advance can I place a booking?

Planning ahead? Whether you have found the perfect place or just want to secure your trip early, booking in advance can bring peace of mind and help you manage costs over time. The advance booking window varies depending on which platform you use to reserve your holiday rental.

Booking windows by platform

Airbnb

You can reserve a stay on Airbnb up to two years ahead. This extended booking window gives you maximum flexibility for planning long-term trips. However, hosts often set their prices during the winter for the following year (e.g., in December 2024 for 2025) to account for any changes in local fees, government regulations, or consumption costs.

Holidu, VRBO, and Booking.com

You can reserve a stay on Holidu, VRBO, and Booking.com up to one year in advance. This timeframe allows you to plan and secure your accommodation well ahead while maintaining flexibility for most travel scenarios. Hosts typically adjust their prices in the winter for the upcoming year (e.g., in December 2024 for 2025) to reflect any changes in local fees, government policies, or consumption costs.

Why book in advance?

• Peace of mind: Secure your preferred property before availability runs out
• Better pricing: Lock in rates before potential price increases
• Budget management: Spread accommodation costs across multiple payment periods
• More options: Access a wider selection of properties when booking early

Important considerations for advance bookings

When booking far in advance, keep in mind that hosts may update their pricing policies. Prices are commonly reviewed and adjusted during winter months to account for anticipated changes in local fees, government regulations, and consumption costs for the following year. This means that while you can secure your dates, the final price may reflect these seasonal adjustments.

Check availability for your dates

Feel free to check property availability by entering your preferred dates on your chosen platform. Whether you are planning a trip one year ahead or booking within the next few months, you will find options to suit your needs. We look forward to hosting you soon!
