Booking Rules
Each amenity may have specific booking constraints:
Lead Time
Some amenities require advance booking. For example, you might need to reserve the clubhouse at least 48 hours ahead. The system will show the earliest available booking time.
Cancellation Window
Reservations often have a cancellation deadline. For instance, you may need to cancel at least 24 hours before your reservation time. Cancellations after this window may not be refunded or may incur fees (depending on community policy).
Capacity Limits
Each amenity has a maximum capacity. When booking, you may be asked to specify the number of guests to ensure the space isn't overbooked.
Approval Workflow
Some amenities require management approval before your reservation is confirmed:
- Submit your booking request
- Your request status shows as Pending Approval
- A board member or property manager reviews the request
- You'll receive notification when it's Approved or Declined
Amenities requiring approval will be clearly marked. Plan ahead and submit requests early for time-sensitive events.
Blackout Periods
Amenities may have blackout periods when they're unavailable:
- Scheduled maintenance windows
- Community events with exclusive use
- Seasonal closures (e.g., pool winterization)
Blackout periods appear on the calendar and prevent bookings during those times.
Timezone Considerations
All booking times are displayed in your community's configured timezone. If you're traveling or in a different timezone, keep this in mind when making reservations.
