villa booking dates - ? eg 2 and half weeks

[casperdje]

do any owners consider for example fri for 2 and a half weeks until say tuesday ( i would guess only at quiet times )
with the person renting paying paying nightly for other nights or as i presume and FAIRLY SO that would we be charged for the 3 weeks period anyway in which case we could hotel for a couple of nights depending on the return flight - as it is relevant to the cheapest flights from uk
i only query this point as we did have an offer from a uk owner for split week last year which is not available for 2003 but we had to cancel the trip - that may have been a quiet period and so suited the owner .

I must admit to taking bookings from any day to any day at all times, and certainly do not worry about the length of a booking as long as it is over a week. I just charge for the extra days with a daily rate. If the guest wants under a week it depends on the time of the year and how this fits in with any bookings I already have. The cost is also relatively more to allow for the cleaning fee which is incurred however long the booking is for.

I am happy to let my villa for any time for a minium of 5 nights, other than that people can pick choose whatever dates are convenient. For stays of under 5 days the rate goes up to include a cleaning fee.

For the gulf coast they work Saturday to Saturday, but up here people tend to go with the flow as it were!

I also take bookings from and to any day of the week and for any number of nights. If the booking is for 5 nights or less, then a cleaning charge is added. We also do not charge for 3 weeks if you are only there for 2 1/2 weeks. That seems a bit greedy to me.

The Gulf owners are beginning to change their date policies Fiona. I have a number of villas on one of my sites and only one owner insists on Saturday to Saturday and the rest are completely flexible.

If I'm available, I am happy to take the booking, full week, part week, mid week, whatever <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

And us too. We're happy to fit in with whatever the guest wants to do.

For stays of under 7 nights we add the cleaning fee of $55 onto the rental amount to cover our costs.

I'm happy to have any arrival and departure day and guests are only charged for the time spent at our home. If it's for 2.5 weeks then I would divide the weekly price by 7 and multiply it by the number of odd nights and add it to the two week total. If it's a booking for more than 15 nights, we give a discount.

As with most of the other replies, if it's a booking for a total of less than 5 nights, then the cost is calculated as above and our cleaning fee of $70 is added.

I do bookings for any day so long as its over 7 nights. Anything over 2 weeks gets a discounted price for the extra days eg if it's peak price time then after 14 nights it reduces to standard price.
For the Gulf coast villa it can start any day but the 7 nights minimum is a byelaw so if you stay 5 you are charged for 7.

We also try to accommodate our guests wishes - we'll take a booking from any day, with again the cleaning charge added to any stay of less than 5 nights. The cost is our weekly rated divided by 7 x ?.
