• You don’t set how early a guest must book — bookings are always allowed unless your listing is unavailable.
• Instead, you set a buffer period between the end of one reservation and the start of the next.
• This allows time for cleaning, resets, travel, or personal scheduling.

Why this works better:

• It gives providers flexibility without blocking last-minute bookings that could still work.
• It simplifies the calendar — no need to adjust every time availability changes.
• It protects service quality by giving you enough time to prepare between guests or renters.

This structure is used across all categories — accommodations, vehicles, watercrafts, and experiences — to ensure both efficiency and readiness without overcomplicating your listing settings.
