Minimum Stay

The fewest number of nights a guest must book to make a reservation.

A minimum stay requirement sets the shortest booking duration a property will accept. Common minimums range from 1 to 7 nights depending on the market, season, and property type. Longer minimums reduce turnover costs and attract higher-quality guests, while shorter minimums increase booking volume. Professional managers adjust minimum stays dynamically — for example, requiring 3-night minimums on weekends and 1-night minimums to fill gaps in the calendar.
