How do I offer a discount to guests who book for longer periods?
Encourage your Guests to book for longer periods by offering Discounts for longer stays. You are able to set a discount from your Basic rates (or Seasonal Rates if applied) for bookings more than 7, 14, 21 or 28 nights.
Discounts for longer stays are applied to the gross amount for the entire booking (not including cleaning or extras).
You can choose whether or not to apply Discounts for longer stays to each Seasonal price increase/decrease.
Good to know: 28, 21, and 14 days longer stays discounts on Booking.com are not supported.
