Managing Block Restrictions

Prerequisites for Managing Block Restrictions

You can setup block-level restrictions as needed; these could be length of stay restrictions or other restriction types enabled at your property. Restrictions can be set for specific room class or room type as needed. For more details see Restrictions.

Note:

Restriction dates must be within the block dates, no matter if the block reservation is elastic or non-elastic.
