Restricting check-in and check-out days lets you enforce a specific guest-rotation rhythm: e.g. Saturday-to-Saturday only, or Friday-to-Monday. It's a tool typical of holiday apartments with a weekly cycle.
Where to set it
Settings → Apartment → the "General information" section → the "Allowed check-in days" and "Allowed check-out days" checkboxes.
How it works
When you tick specific days: only those days will be selectable as check-in or check-out in the guest booking form.
Empty fields (default) = every day of the week allowed.
Common configurations
Saturday-to-Saturday rotation (holiday apartments)
- Check-in: ☑ Saturday
- Check-out: ☑ Saturday
- Stay: always 7, 14 or 21 nights
Friday-to-Monday rotation (long weekend)
- Check-in: ☑ Friday
- Check-out: ☑ Monday
- Stay: always 3 nights
Flexible weekend rotation
- Check-in: ☑ Friday, ☑ Saturday
- Check-out: ☑ Sunday, ☑ Monday, ☑ Saturday
- Stay: 2–8 nights in various combinations
No restrictions (city/short-term apartments)
- Check-in: (empty, any day)
- Check-out: (empty, any day)
What the guest sees
In the calendar on the guest page, disallowed check-in days are grayed out: the guest can't select them as an arrival date. Similarly with check-out days: the form will force a choice among the allowed days.
If the guest tries to manually enter a date outside the allowed ones, the form shows an error and blocks the booking submission.
Effect on date visibility
Restricting check-in days can make many dates appear "unavailable" even though they're free: the guest simply can't check in on that day. Keep this in mind when analyzing your page's conversion.
If you use check-in days, add a note in the apartment description or guest FAQ: "Apartment available on a weekly cycle: check-in on Saturday, check-out on Saturday".

Frequently asked questions
What do empty allowed-day fields mean?
Empty fields (the default) mean every day of the week is allowed as check-in and check-out. The restriction only kicks in once you tick specific days.
How do I enforce a Saturday-to-Saturday rotation?
Tick Saturday in both the allowed check-in and check-out days. Guests will then be able to arrive and depart only on Saturdays, which enforces 7-, 14- or 21-night stays.
Why do many free dates look unavailable?
Restricting check-in days means a guest can't choose to arrive on just any day, even though the date is free. That's expected: keep it in mind when analyzing conversion, and note the rule in the description or the guest FAQ.
