Courtesy Hold is a type of block which holds certain accommodation for specific number of days/hours for a guest. You may create a courtesy hold on calendar and convert it into a reservation in case the guest has confirmed the hold.
The system will automatically remove the courtesy holds where the check-in date is already in the past. This will happen regardless of the length of the hold.
E.g. A room hold is created with the following conditions:
- Creation date: 27-04-2021
- Check-in date: 27-04-2021
- Check-out date: 03-05-2021
- Length of hold: 3 days
If the courtesy hold is not confirmed before the 27th is over, the system would release the hold on the 28th at 0:00.
