Length-of-stay discount · definition
  • A length-of-stay discount lowers the nightly rate for longer bookings — commonly 10–20% weekly and 25–50% monthly — trading rate for fewer turnovers and gaps.

Why it can be worth it

A 28-night guest means one cleaning instead of maybe eight, no gap nights, and one set of check-in logistics. The discounted total often nets more than an optimistic patchwork of short stays.

When not to

In peak season, long stays at a discount block your most valuable short-stay dates — most hosts cap or disable the discounts for peak weeks.
