# Group Stays search and room pairing

Group Stays lives on its own page at /group-stays/ on your site. Guests enter check-in and check-out dates, select a town under "Where to?", and enter their group size.

**How pairing works.** The search pairs homes that fall within your pairing radius. The radius defaults to 4 km, and you can change it under **Conversion Kit > Conversion Tools > Trip Builder**.

**Why a town may not show paired rooms near the top.** If a guest selects "Anywhere" instead of a specific town, the search covers all towns and ranks the largest single homes first. Towns with only smaller units may not appear near the top of results.

**The banner on the regular property search.** On the regular property search, the group-stays banner only appears when a guest searches for 10 or more guests. This threshold is controlled by the **Explorer banner minimum group size** setting. If your units are small, lowering that number causes the pairing offer to appear for smaller groups.
