How do I choose the dates guests can book my retreat?

For retreat hosts (account owner). Menu: Your business → Listings, then Edit on your retreat and open Retreat Type.

Before you start

• Link a property with rooms to the retreat first, in the Property section. The number of places comes from your rooms. Until then you'll see "Link a property first".

Steps

1. In the menu, go to Your business → Listings, find your retreat and press Edit.

2. Choose the Retreat Type section.

3. Under Retreat type, choose one:

   • Fixed sessions: "Everyone arrives and leaves together on dates you set, such as 3–10 March. Guests book a whole session, and each session has its own capacity."

   • Rolling enrollment: "Guests can arrive on any day and stay as long as they like, from your minimum stay upward."

   • Flexible dates: "Guests pick their own arrival and departure, but only inside date ranges you open."

4. For Fixed sessions, add each session's arrival and departure day under Session dates, then press Save Sessions. This also sets aside rooms for each session.

5. For Flexible dates, add each period under Available date ranges, then press Save Date Ranges. Leave out dates you're closed.

6. Set Minimum stay (at least 2 nights) for rolling or flexible retreats.

7. Optional: set Minimum participants, the smallest group you'll run the retreat for. Leave it empty if any size works.

8. Optional: add an Availability note, such as "High season (Jul 1 – Oct 31) may include a surcharge". It replaces the standard availability message in the booking box.

9. Press Save under each field you changed.

Good to know

• Changes save by themselves as you go. If the retreat is already published, guests keep seeing the old version until you press Submit for Review. Most changes are checked automatically and go live straight away ("Listing approved and published"). Some go to our team to check first.

• Sessions can't overlap, and neither can date ranges.

• The most guests a retreat can take comes from the rooms in its property, not from a number you type.

• If the same property is used by another retreat, its rooms are shared. A room booked for one retreat isn't free for the other.

• To close a few nights inside an open range, block them on the calendar instead.

If something goes wrong

• "Both start and end dates are required"

  Fill in both days for each session or range.

• "End date cannot be earlier than start date"

  Swap the dates round.

• "Sessions cannot overlap" or "Date ranges cannot overlap"

  Change the dates so one ends before the next starts.

• "Link a property first" or "Could not load bed count — try again"

  Link a property in the Property section, or reload the page.

Common questions

• Can I limit a session to fewer guests than my rooms hold?

  Yes. Use Block spots on the calendar for that retreat.

• Can I change dates after guests have booked?

  Existing bookings keep their dates. Email us before moving a session that has bookings.
