How do I set up a last-minute discount on Airbnb?

This guide explains how to set up a last-minute discount on Airbnb and the benefits it offers to you (the host).

Benefits 

• Higher occupancy for last-minute gaps: Offering discounts close to check-in helps fill otherwise unsold nights, improving overall booking rates instead of leaving dates empty.
• Better revenue recovery from unsold inventory: Even at a reduced rate, last-minute bookings convert perishable inventory into income that would otherwise be lost entirely.
• Improved listing performance and visibility: Increased booking activity close to arrival dates can strengthen conversion signals and help maintain competitive ranking on the portal.

Step-by-Step

1. Go to Smoobu > Booking Portals
2. Click Additional Settings on the Airbnb line (open settings)
3. In the red section, click the Price tab
4. Under Default Pricing Rules, select Last-minute discount, then enter a discount value (e.g. -10%) and set the threshold
