> Seasons setup in HBook – define priority levels and time periods for your rates and rules in Maestrel’s WordPress booking plugin, HBook seasons guide.
## Seasons
You will find the page of the **Seasons** in the menu **HBook > Saisons**. For the plugin to work correctly, you need to create **at least 1 season**. Note that since all bookable days must belong to one season, you need to define at least one season with an end date which is at least equal to the **Maximum date for a reservation** (which can be set in **HBook > Misc**).
### Step 1 : Create a new season
1. Click **Add new season**
2. Enter a name
3. Select the season's status:
- **Priority**: this is the highest status. When a date is found in several seasons, if it is found in a "Priority" season, then it is the rates and rules associated to this season that will be applied.
- **Regular**: this is the middle status. When a date is found in several seasons, if there is no "Priority" season for it, but there is a "Regular" season set, then it is the rates and rules associcated to this season that will be applied.
- **Default**: this is the lowest status. If the dates searched are found only in a "Default" season, then it is the rates and rules associcated to this season that will be applied.
4. Click **Save**
> ℹ️ Please keep in mind that the dates of two seasons with the same status, should never overlap.
### Step 2 : Add dates to the season
A season needs to have at least 1 period, but you can add as well different periods that belong to the same season.
5. Click on the **+** icon.
6. Enter a start date
7. Enter an end date
8. Select a set of days for the chosen dates
9. Click **Save**
> ℹ️ A couple of tips to adjust the seasons correctly :
> ℹ️
> ℹ️ - a season can have various periods
> ℹ️ - all seasons apply to all accommodation types
> ℹ️ - when setting the dates of a period, think in terms of **nights**. So the end date of a season is the day before the start date of the next season
