What feature would you like to see implemented? Redesign the calendar step of the direct booking widget so guests scroll continuously through upcoming months (like the Airbnb app), instead of viewing one month at a time with a page/arrow control.
What are you trying to achieve? Right now the calendar shows the current month with every day that has already passed crossed out, which wastes a large chunk of the card and adds an extra click to see the next month. This makes it slower for guests to pick dates that span two months, and the crossed-out days look cluttered. I'd like:
A continuous vertical scroll through the next 12 months, so guests can select check-in and check-out across months without extra clicks.
Past dates hidden rather than shown crossed out — the current month should start from the current week.
Unavailable future dates still shown with a light strike-through, so guests can see what's booked.
A fixed-height card with the header (title, check-in/check-out summary) and footer (price, Save/Book button) staying in place while only the calendar scrolls.
Is there a workaround you're currently using? No workaround — this is a widget-level layout issue I can't change from my account.
Additional issue to flag: on desktop, with the full screen width available, the calendar widget renders as a small box in the top-left of the screen instead of using the available space. It displays correctly on mobile. Worth checking as a separate bug alongside this request.
Attached: a working HTML mockup of the proposed redesign (sample data only, not connected to real availability/pricing) to show the intended behaviour.
