Action: OwnerRez - Research for length of stay discounting. Minimum 3 months activity needed.
Module 8: Setting Up Dynamic Pricing (Pricelabs) and General Fee Policy
Your average length of stay shows how guests really use your property, and it should guide your length-of-stay discounts more than your nightly rate does. The same revenue can come from many short stays or fewer long ones, and longer stays mean fewer cleans and less wear. With at least a few months of real bookings, it shows where a discount will genuinely change guest behaviour.

Questions people ask
Why does average length of stay matter for an Airbnb?
It tells you how long guests usually book, so you can place length-of-stay discounts where they will encourage slightly longer stays rather than giving money away.
How much booking history do I need before setting stay discounts?
A few months of bookings, including confirmed future stays, gives a far more reliable average than a handful of early reservations.
Does OwnerRez report average nights per booking?
Yes. OwnerRez includes booking statistics reports that can show nights per booking for each property over a chosen period.
