# 3.2.3 Block Unavailable Dates

Prevent guests from booking your property during periods when it is not available by blocking specific dates in your calendar.

Blocked dates are useful when your property is unavailable due to maintenance, personal stays, renovations, seasonal closures, or any other reason you do not want to receive bookings during a specific period. Once dates are blocked, they will no longer be available for new bookings.

## **Create a Blocked Date**

There are two ways to block unavailable dates in Zeevou. Both options create the same type of blocked period.

1.  From the **Booking Calendar**
    
2.  From the **Calendar Toolbox**
    

### 1\. Block Dates on the Booking Calendar

Use this option when you are already viewing your calendar and want to quickly make specific dates unavailable.

1.  Go to **Calendar** from the main menu.
    
2.  Select the relevant **Property, Unit Type, or Unit**.
    
3.  Drag your cursor across the dates you want to block.
    
4.  Choose **Create a Blocked Date**.
    
5.  Enter the required details:
    

-   **Unit/Unit Type:** Select where the block should apply.
    
-   **Date Range:** Choose the unavailable period.
    
-   **Block Type:** Select the reason for blocking the dates.
    
-   **Description:** Add any additional notes for your reference.
    

6.  Click **Create**.
    

### 2\. Use the Calendar Toolbox

1.  Go to the **Booking Calendar** page.
    
2.  Open **Calendar Toolbox** at the top right.
    
3.  Select **Create a Blocked Date** from the dropdown menu.
    
4.  Enter the required details:
    

-   **Unit/Unit Type:** Select where the block should apply.
    
-   **Date Range:** Choose the unavailable period.
