New Unified Calendar - Explained

Written by Faith W

One Search, Six Months of Availability

What's New:

No more separate last-minute and advanced modes. Now every member searches the full booking window in one place.

One of the biggest improvements in the new Hostshare is how you search and book. The old Last-Minute and Advanced modes are gone. In their place is a single, unified search experience — one calendar showing every available home across the next six months, open to every member.

What's changed

Before

  • Separate Last-Minute and Advanced booking modes

  • Different rules and access depending on the mode

  • Switching back and forth to see what was available

Now

  • One unified search for everything

  • Full 6-month window visible in a single calendar

  • Every member has the same full access — no tiers, no modes

How it works now

Searching is simple: enter where you want to go and your dates, and you'll see every available home across the next six months in one view. No modes to toggle, no restrictions based on how far out you're booking. Just find a place you love and book it instantly.

Every member, full access. Whether you're on Starter or Max, you can search and book across the entire 6-month window. The full calendar is open to everyone.

What this means for hosts

Because the platform now shows your full availability up to six months out, your blockout days are how you stay in control. Setting your 200 blockout days lets you:

  • Control your peak nights — protect your highest-value dates and busiest season.

  • Unlock advanced booking — open up your remaining dates to the full 6-month search window.

  • Claim your full $1,000 in credits — setting your blockout dates during the migration period unlocks the full Founding Member credits grant.

Getting started

  1. Set your 200 blockout days — Protect the dates you want to keep for yourself or paying guests.

  2. Your remaining dates open up — Everything you don't block becomes available across the full 6-month window.

  3. Search and book anywhere — Use the unified search to find and instantly book any available home in the network.

New to blockout dates? They're how you protect the dates you don't want to share. See our How Blockout Dates Work article for the full details, including how editing works on each tier.
