Add a block

Easily add a block to a unit to make it temporarily unavailable for reservations. You can also learn how to create multiple blocks at once.

A block allows you to temporarily close an accommodation for reservations. This is useful when a unit is unavailable due to maintenance, owner use, or other internal reasons. During a block, guests cannot make reservations for the selected period.

In this article, you'll learn how to add a block to a single accommodation and how to block multiple units at the same time.

Add a block

Step 1: Open the planning board

Go to Planning in the main menu to open the planning board.

Step 2: Select the desired month

Use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page to navigate to the month in which the block should start.

Step 3: Select the unit

Find the unit for which you want to create a block.

Step 4: Select the block

  1. Click the start date of the block.

  2. Hold down the mouse button.

  3. Drag to the desired end date (maximum 2 months).

  4. Release the mouse button.

The selected period will be displayed as a transparent blue bar.

Step 5: Create the block

  1. A pop-up window will appear.

  2. Tick 'Enter this period as a block' in the bottom-left corner.

  3. Optionally add a reason.

  4. Click Create block.

Block not clickable?

⚠️ If a block or reservation can no longer be opened, this usually means that the unit has since been linked to a different accommodation.

To resolve this:

  • Temporarily link the unit back to the original accommodation.

  • Then edit or delete the block or reservation.

For a detailed explanation, see our article Editing non-editable blocks or reservations.
