Holiday Price Bumps

Holiday price bumps raise your nightly rates around the public holidays, school breaks and key dates of your region. When demand is high, you can capture premium pricing without manually adjusting dates on your calendar.

What It Does

Holiday price bumps apply a percentage increase to your base nightly rate for dates within a window around each holiday or school break. For example, you might add a 15% bump over the Easter long weekend, or around ANZAC Day.

Where to Find It

Open your property's Calendar → Pricing → Seasonal & holiday pricing.

How to Set Up Holiday Bumps

1. Open Seasonal & holiday pricing on the calendar's Pricing tab.
2. Under Add holidays, click Show holidays next to your holiday region to list its public holidays (and your own key dates), or pick a country and click Suggest holidays, or describe a set (e.g. "NSW school holidays", "Chinese New Year").
3. Set the percent on each holiday and click Add (or Add all).
4. On each bump, choose the window (Day only, Weekend, ±1 day, ±2 days) and whether it applies every year.

Bumps made from your region's holidays or your own key dates move to next year's real dates on their own, including holidays whose dates change every year (Easter, Thanksgiving, school terms).

Your Holiday Region

The holidays listed come from the region you choose in Settings → Account & Profile → Account → Holidays & key dates (country and, where it matters, state), or a listing's own region on its Calendar → Availability → Holiday region. Add your own key dates or import a calendar of school terms there too. See Holiday region and key dates.

School breaks and key dates are labeled separately from public holidays so you can choose which to bump.

Tips

• Typical bump range: Many hosts use 10–20% for holidays.
• Extend the window – Use Weekend or ±1/±2 days to cover travel days around a holiday.
• Missing a local date? Add it under Holidays & key dates in your account settings, or import your school's calendar, and it appears in the list.

Managing Rules

• Change the percent or window – Edit it on the bump; every year's instance follows.
• Remove a holiday – Click the trash icon on the bump.

Related Pricing Tools

Holiday bumps raise the nightly rate itself. If what should change seasonally is the extra-guest charge rather than the base price — say, $25 per night for each guest over 6, but only in the off-season — use Seasonal Extra Guest Pricing instead.
