You can book a stay on Holidu, Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com well in advance. Airbnb allows bookings up to two years ahead, while Holidu, Vrbo, and Booking.com allow bookings up to one year ahead. The exact window depends on the platform you use.

How far ahead can you book on each platform?

• Airbnb: Up to two years in advance.
• Holidu: Up to one year in advance.
• Vrbo: Up to one year in advance.
• Booking.com: Up to one year in advance.

Why do prices change at the start of a new year?

Hosts on all four platforms often review and set their prices in the winter for the year ahead. For example, a host may set 2025 prices in December 2024. This allows them to account for changes in local fees, government regulations, or utility costs. If you plan a trip for the next year, you may notice updated rates once the new calendar opens.

How do I check availability for my dates?

To check availability, open the property page and enter your preferred check-in and check-out dates. Review the total price, including any listed fees, before you confirm your booking. If your dates are beyond the current booking window, check again later as the calendar opens closer to your travel date.

Tips for booking in advance

• Book early if you are traveling during peak seasons, holidays, or local events, since popular properties can fill up quickly.
• Compare rates for your dates over several weeks to see how prices change.
• Save your favorite properties so you can return to them when your dates become available.
• Check the cancellation policy before you book, especially for stays planned far in advance.
