Each home is unique and you’re able to control key booking settings on Fairly. To help you get started with your listing, we recommend certain settings and have a set of required settings and rules on each home. Continue reading below to understand the default settings.

The following settings are required on each Fairly home:

These settings cannot be modified:

  • No smoking

  • No weapons on the property

  • No dangerous animals on the property

  • Instant book

  • Guests can book 18 months in advance. You can add blocks to your calendar if you want to restrict this booking window.

We recommend these settings for your home:

  • Pricing accelerator - lower your rates by 20% for the first 60 days to earn early reservations and early reviews.

    • You can edit this by going to Pricing.

  • Pricing per night - We default to the recommended dynamic pricing strategy.

    • You can edit this at anytime by going to the Pricing tab and choosing a different strategy.

    • You can also edit individual night pricing.

  • Minimum nights for each booking - 2.

    • You can edit this by going to Listing > Access & Policies

  • Maximum nights for each booking - 27.

    • You can lower the maximum. We do not currently support long term stays over 27 nights.

    • You can edit this by going to Listing > Access & Policies

  • Cancellation policies - we recommend the Firm setting for Airbnb and Moderate setting for Vrbo.

    • You can edit this by going to Listing > Access & Policies

  • Check-in time - 4pm. Check-out time - 10am.

    • Coming soon on being able to edit these settings.

  • No events.

    • You can edit this by going to Listing > Access & Policies.

  • No commercial photography.

    • You can edit this by going to Listing > Access & Policies.

Additional rules and policies

In addition to our recommended settings above, you can change the following to your preferences:

  • Minimum age to rent: The minimum age to rent defaults to 18, but can be increased to 25. This will appear in the House Rules sections on Airbnb and Vrbo.

    • Note: It is very tough to enforce this rule. Airbnb in most areas only restricts to age 18, even if you put this in your house rules.

  • Custom rules: In this section, you can set up to 3 custom rules (for example: quiet hours, access policies, etc).

  • If you wish to have additional home rules or policies, we recommend adding these to the end of your home description.
