Yes, it is absolutely possible to allow single-night bookings under specific conditions, which is ideal for filling gaps in your calendar.
Since your property typically requires a minimum stay, the best solution is to create a specific last-minute promotion. Here is how to set it up:
-
Create a new last-minute offer in your system.
-
Set the booking window so that the offer only appears shortly before the stay (for example, 48 hours prior to the arrival date).
-
Apply a one-night minimum restriction specifically to this offer.
With this setup, your standard two-night minimum rule will remain active at all times for regular bookings, and guests will only be able to book your single nights at the very last minute, helping you maximize occupancy.
