How do Extra Nights work?
Updated over 4 months ago

Boondockers Welcome Hosts and members are familiar with multiple-night Stays and BW Members can choose multiple nights from the Availability Calendar when they click the Check Availability button on a BW Host Profile. Now Hosts with Harvest Hosts can offer Extra Night Stays and HH Members can request Extra Nights during the Stay Request process.

Harvest Hosts

How it is displayed

Members can identify Hosts that offer Extra Nights in three places. The first place will be on the Host Card that pops up after clicking a Host Icon on the Discover Map. If a Host offers Extra Night(s) Stays, there will be an Extra Night(s) icon displayed at the bottom of the photo beside the initial Host Details.

You will also find this information in the top Callouts and the new Extra Nights section on the Host Profile.

More details are displayed in the Extra Nights section of the Host Profile page.

When you click the Learn More About Extra Nights link, you will see the following information in a popup window:

Requesting Extra Nights

Check Host Profile

If a Host allows Extra Nights and you would like to Request more than the free overnight Stay, begin the Stay Request process by clicking on the Check Availability button in the right column of the Host Profile. You can confirm the Host's Extra Nights settings in the top Callouts and just above the Check Availability button.

Availability Calendar

Select the initial free overnight on the Host Calendar and click the Choose Dates button.

Stay Request Form

Fill in the Stay Request form and check the box in Request Extra Nights section to request Extra Nights. Then choose how many Extra Nights you would like to request, add details for the Host to consider, and review any notes the Host has included.

Additional Checkbox

An additional check box will appear with a notice for the Extra Stay request at the bottom of the Request form. Check that box and click the Submit Request button.

Viewing Stay Requests

You can view your Stay Request by clicking Stays in the top menu and looking in the Pending Stays list.

You will see the Extra Nights as part of the Stay Dates.

Boondockers Welcome

How it works

BW Hosts have always been able to offer multiple-night Stays to our BW members. When a BW member requests a multi-day Stay, BW Hosts receive one Stay Request for the entire Stay to approve or decline.

How it is displayed

If BW Hosts choose to allow more than one night for a single Stay, this will be prominently displayed on the Host Card to pops up after clicking on a Host icon on the Discover Map.

This will also be displayed on the Host Profile page as part of our new Callout section at the top of the Host Profile content.

Requesting Multiple Nights

If the BW Host has enabled multi-Night Stays, click the Check Availability button on the Host Profile page and you will be able to select up to the maximum number of nights that the Host allows. Complete the Stay Request form and the Host will be notified to either approve or decline the Request.

Viewing Stay Requests

You can view your Stay Request by clicking Stays in the top menu and looking in the Pending Stays list.

You will see the Dates you've requested in the Stay Dates section of the Stay Request details page by clicking on any Stay Request.
