Rate sale limits: advance booking, cut-off and length of stay

1. 1

   Step 1: Open the rate

   Open the rate’s details and find the “Sale limits” section. Every rate has its own.

2. 2

   Step 2: Minimum advance or release

   How many days before arrival the rate stops selling, from 0 to 365. Useful for advance-purchase rates.

3. 3

   Step 3: Maximum advance

   How many days ahead it can be booked at most, from 1 to 730.

4. 4

   Step 4: Cut-off time for same-day arrival

   Until what time, in your hotel’s time zone, it sells online for same-day arrival.

   • It doesn’t apply at the front desk: a guest walking in at 11 p.m. can still book. Advance limits do apply everywhere.
5. 5

   Step 5: Minimum and maximum nights

   How many nights a stay on this rate must last.

6. 6

   Step 6: Read the summary and save

   One sentence sums it up: “Minimum 3 nights. Book at least 2 days in advance and up to 365 days before.”

At the front desk, in the booking widget and on yaReserva.com the option appears blocked with its reason — “This rate must be booked at least 7 days in advance; arrival is 2 days away” — and it is checked again on confirmation.
