Rate restrictions
Plan min/max stay, closed-to-arrival, and related restrictions in PMS, then mirror and attest on OTAs/CM.
Distribution · Academy
What this section is
Rate restrictions (Restrictions hub) covers MLOS (Minimum Length of Stay), maximum stay, CTA (Closed to Arrival), and similar controls that protect compression dates. Set them on Pricing calendar or Rate plans in PMS, then copy to Booking.com / MMT (MakeMyTrip) or your external CM — FindMyStay does not push restrictions automatically. Finish with a Rate attestation so the Distribution dashboard stays honest.
In the owner dashboard
Open Rate restrictions under Listing / Property after you claim a stay. Same vocabulary as Help Academy.

Help cues
When to use it
Cue 1
Diwali / New Year weekend — force 2-night minimum.
Cue 2
CTA on Friday so guests cannot book a one-night Friday only.
Cue 3
Cap very long OTA stays that block peak inventory.
Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Rate restrictions
Distribution → Restrictions. Use links to Pricing calendar and Rate plans — this hub explains the workflow.
India example: Diwali Fri–Sun · MLOS 2 · CTA Fri. -
Set rules in PMS
On Pricing calendar (per date) or Rate plan defaults, apply min/max stay, CTA, stop-sell where supported.
India example: Pricing calendar · 24–26 Oct · MLOS 2 · Deluxe BAR unchanged. -
Mirror and attest
Update OTA extranet / CM with the same restrictions → Distribution → Rate attest (publish log).
India example: MMT MLOS 2 applied · Rate attest success · notes Diwali.
Tips
Restrictions without OTA mirror still allow one-night OTA bookings — always finish on the channel. · Remove MLOS after the peak so mid-week fill is not blocked forever.
Common mistakes
Setting CTA in PMS only and wondering why Booking.com still sells Friday arrivals.

Detailed examples
Full India-hotel scenarios — same structure as Help Academy. Follow on the live screen with your team.
Example 1: Diwali weekend — MLOS 2 and CTA Friday
Setting
24–26 Oct peak · stop one-night Friday arrivals.
Who is involved
Owner · Revenue staff
Restrictions in PMS alone do not stop Booking.com. Mirror + Rate attest closes the gap.
| # | What staff do | What they should see |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Restrictions hub → Pricing calendar · MLOS 2 · CTA Fri | PMS protected. |
| 2 | Update B.com / MMT extranets the same way | Channels match. |
| 3 | Rate attest · notes Diwali MLOS | Audit trail on Dashboard. |
