In this episode of Get Paid For Your Pad, Jasper Ribbers kicks off our new RefUp Series on revenue management with one of the most overlooked levers in STR revenue: minimum night stay (MNS) settings.

Most hosts see MNS as a simple calendar setting, but it directly impacts your availability, visibility, and overall revenue. Hotels handle short stays differently for a reason, and STR operators can learn a lot from that approach.

We break down:

• The 3 key reasons to restrict minimum nights: operations, risk, and revenue optimization
• Why one-night bookings often bring more benefits than problems
• How Airbnb’s algorithm rewards flexibility with more visibility
• The indirect revenue value of reviews, repeat guests, and exposure
• Real-world examples of operators who unlocked growth by testing shorter stays

Whether you manage a few units or a large portfolio, this episode will show you how to think about MNS settings strategically and stop leaving money on the table.
