Most platforms let you book a stay up to one year in advance. Airbnb is the exception, allowing reservations up to two years ahead. The exact window depends on the platform you book through, so check the table below before you plan.

How far in advance can I book on each platform?

• Airbnb: Up to two years ahead.
• Vrbo: Up to one year ahead.
• Holidu: Up to one year ahead.
• Booking.com: Up to one year ahead.

Why does pricing change for dates far in the future?

Hosts on all four platforms often review and set their prices in the winter for the year ahead. For example, a host may set 2025 prices in December 2024. This helps them cover changes in local fees, government rules, and utility costs. If you plan a trip far ahead, check the price again closer to your travel dates, as rates can be updated during the year.

Why should I book early?

Booking early can give you more choice of properties and dates, especially during peak seasons and holidays. It also lets you plan your budget over time instead of paying a large amount at once.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book a stay two years in advance on Holidu or Vrbo?

No. Holidu and Vrbo allow bookings up to one year in advance. Airbnb is the only platform in this list that allows bookings up to two years ahead.

Will the price change after I book?

Your confirmed booking price stays the same. Prices shown for future dates may change before you book, so it helps to book once you have settled on your dates.

Where can I find more information about booking?

You can read more about how booking works in the Holidu Help Center. To see if a property is available, enter your preferred dates in the search and compare options.
