Month or timeline
Step 1
Switch the view
Open Calendar and choose Month or Timeline next to the title. The timeline puts each property on its own row and each stay on a bar, so you see at a glance where there is room. Show 2 weeks, 1 month or 2 months, move with the arrows, and type in Filter properties to find a property by name or town. Casitana remembers the view you chose.

The timeline in the app
Tap Timeline at the top to see two weeks of every property. Turn your phone sideways for a wider calendar, in Month and Timeline; turned sideways, the timeline shows up to three weeks. The arrows move a whole screen back or ahead, and Today brings you back. Tap a bar to open its booking. Press and hold a booking, on the timeline or in a day’s list under Month, for Send guest info, Edit booking and Delete booking.

Book or block a free day
Step 2

Step 3App
In the app
Tap an empty day on the timeline, or a day with nothing on it under Month. The app says how long the property is free from that day, and offers New booking and Block dates. With more than one property, Month first asks which.

Block dates
Step 3
Choose the dates
Click Block dates above the calendar, or start from a free day. Choose the property, then From and To: the nights from the first date up to the second are closed, as with a check-in and a check-out. Add an Internal note (optional) if you like, then click Block dates.

Step 4App
Block dates in the app
In the app, the same form opens from a free day on the timeline: From, To and the internal note. Tap Block dates to save.

What Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo see
A blocked period shows on the calendar as a dashed bar marked Blocked. Your calendar export lists the dates as unavailable, so every platform that imports it closes them too. The note stays in Casitana: only you and your team see it. Setting up the export: Sync your calendar with Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and other platforms.
Change or reopen blocked dates
Step 5
Open a blocked period
Click the bar. Blocked in Casitana shows the dates and the note. Edit dates changes the dates; Delete block opens them again for bookings, after you confirm.

In the app
Tap the bar on the timeline. The app shows the same dates and note, with Edit dates and Delete block.

Dates blocked by another calendar
Dates closed on Airbnb or another platform arrive through calendar sync and show as Blocked: Airbnb, with the platform’s name. You change or reopen them on that platform, not in Casitana. If they are a guest’s stay, you can mark them as a booking: Mark the dates as a booking.
Step 7
The platform on a blocked bar
On the timeline, dates a connected platform blocked read Blocked · Booking.com, in that platform’s colour. Dates you block yourself read Blocked. The label names the platform the dates come from: if Airbnb’s calendar also carries dates that another platform blocked, the bar names that other platform.
