The Closed Days feature lets you set periods when your space or specific locations will be unavailable for bookings. This is useful when closing for holidays, events, or maintenance.


Summary

  • Block bookings during holidays or maintenance with Closed Days.

  • Add closed days globally or for specific locations.

  • Activate booking restriction to enforce closed days.

  • Admins can always make bookings on the Admin Portal.


Who can do this?

Admins with the "Owner" role and access to Settings > Calendar > Business Hours.

Add closed days

Admins with the role "Owner" can add Closed Days for all or multiple locations. To do that:

  1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Business Hours.

  2. Click Add Closed Day.

  3. In the Add Closed Day dialog:

    • Title – Enter a title.

    • From & To fields – Select the starting and ending dates and times of the closed days period.

    • Locations – Select which locations will be closed on the selected dates.

    • Repeats – Select whether the closed day will recur annually. Repeating Closed Days will repeat every year until the Closed Day is removed or its repeatability is turned off.

Edit and remove Closed Days

To edit or remove existing closed days:

  1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Business Hours.

  2. Click the cogwheel icon next to a closed day.

  3. Select Edit or Delete.

Block bookings on Closed Days

Closed Days only affect bookings if the Restrict outside business hours bookings setting is turned on.

To block bookings during your closed days:

  1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Business Hours.

  2. Select Restrict outside business hours bookings.

  3. Select any combination of the following:

    • Active members – Cannot book outside business hours, workdays, or closed days. Applies in the Member Portal and mobile apps.

      • Business hours apply only to bookings of time-based resources (Booking mode = Time).

      • Closed days and workdays apply to all reservations, including Booking mode = Date.

    • Non-active members – Same restrictions as above, applied in the Public Calendar, Member Portal, and mobile apps.

  4. Click Update.

Admins can always make bookings on the Admin Portal, regardless of restrictions.

Booking on Closed Days

Depending on the resource type, you have different options.

Time-based resources

  • Can be booked before or after the Closed Day time.

  • Example: If a Closed Day starts December 23 at 13:30, resources are available until 13:30 that day.

Date-based resources

Cannot be booked at all during Closed Days, even if the closure starts or ends mid-day.

Existing bookings

Existing bookings are not changed when you add new Closed Days. Admins must manually edit these bookings that overlap with a closed day.

Resource Rates

  • On Closed Days, weekend rates apply (hour-weekend, half-day-weekend, day-weekend).

  • If not defined, users will see the following message:

    "[Resource Name] is currently unavailable for booking as the space is closed for [Title]. Please select a time within our operational hours for your reservation."

  • Example:

Resource availability

The availability of resources during closed days depends on whether the booking is one-time or recurring and on the location's closed day settings.

One-time bookings:

  • Members cannot book a resource if:

    • The space is closed globally (across all your locations).

    • The location of the resource is included in the Closed Day.

  • Members can book a resource in a location excluded from the Closed Day.

  • Booking availability on the Admin Portal is not restricted; admins can still create bookings during Closed Days.

Recurring bookings:

  • A recurring booking cannot be created if one of its instances falls on a Closed Day.

  • Booking availability on the Admin Portal is not restricted; admins can still create bookings during Closed Days.

Notes

  • Admins can always make bookings regardless of Closed Days or business hours.

  • Bookings synced from Google Calendar ignore Closed Day restrictions.
