All guests must agree to your house rules before booking, and if you’re uncomfortable with a booking, you can cancel the reservation. However, fees or other consequences may be applied for canceling a guest's reservation.
All guests meet Airbnb’s booking requirements, but you’re welcome to add more at any time in your Booking settings:
Note: You must turn on Instant Book to add guest requirements to your listing.
To avoid last-minute reservations, you can set the following advance notice and preparation time between reservations, and we’ll automatically block these days on your calendar.
Instant Book isn't available if a guest makes a reservation within 2 days of check-in and needs to arrive at a time that's outside your check-in window. In this case, you’ll receive a request to book a reservation, and you can decide if the guest's check-in time still works for you. If not, you don’t have to accept the reservation.
If a guest booked using Instant Book, they may have the option to add extra nights and get instant confirmation without needing to send you a trip change request. Guests can extend their reservation up to 72 hours before their scheduled checkout time. You'll receive an immediate notification if an extension is confirmed.
Need to make an additional change? Message your guest or send them a trip change request.
Avoid reservations that are too long or short by setting your minimum and maximum trip length. If you don't set a limit, a 31-night maximum will automatically be applied.
When guests enter search criteria, the algorithm returns listings that reflect those criteria. If your calendar is blocked for their dates or you have requirements that aren’t met—like advance notice, preparation time, good track record for guests, or others—your listing may not appear in their search results.
