The Instant Book pre-booking message feature is returning

[Emilie]

As part of our Winter Release 2022, we shared changes that we are making to Instant Book requirements, including the removal of the pre-booking message. 

We read your questions, feedback, and concerns around the removal of this message and shared it with our product team. 

Because of your feedback, the pre-booking message feature will be returned to Instant Booking settings starting today, December 12th. You’ll find it on your desktop view first, and it will return in your mobile app in the coming weeks. Guests will automatically see your message in the booking experience starting today. If you previously had a pre-booking message required, the same message will appear back in your settings. No action will be needed from you. 

With each release and update, we spend time listening to our Hosts, and thank you for your continued support, constructive feedback and partnership here in the Community Center.

Thanks,

Emilie

Hi Emilie, with all the respect I have in Airbnb I have to strongly have too disagree, 

Well through my experience Airbnb is not a Hotel.. is a community of providing accommodation.. a new unique adventure, specially a connection of different people around the world. is not just a hotel.. like yes sir.. here sir.. it feels like we can have an instant cancelation too.. it was the attention in the beginning like a fore play..

I know it seems adultery on my command.. but I always see Airbnb is a fabulous in the imperfection.. because I have been touch by many of my guess.. and I believe I have to in many different ways.. is a global community.. 

how can they confidence with the accommodation, if you change this..  respectfully, you change a home into a house..

so if I only open for 3 month and extend it every day just to avoid a building break down or many unfortunate incident?? many of us don't have back up.. many of us did grow in Airbnb..

I feel like you are taking away our choice .. I understand is bad for business having argument at the beginning or a week for only instant booking or two weeks is sensible.. but a year??what happen to the newbie.. that fail to perform and unable to pay rent.. even though he has potential.. he will be force to quit, or change account.. and certainly not in the same house...

Airbnb should have freedom.. that is why you have host and super host..

my last villa was 30 years or more old.. and one day a person book for a week and cancelled by trying to clog my toilet with an new roll of tissue.. and then he cannot get refund because it was in purpose, I should ask money for fraud, but I don't do that.. so I was touching up and paint brush the wall like painting.. I was out to buy more paint.. a guest message me and said need to check in.. I said I'm half an hour away.. and I need 15 minutes to fix the place.. when I arrive in 15 minutes.. they start complaining.. I ask my security they were waiting for 10 minutes.. all been discuss from pre message..

I understand the stress when you traveling with out a roof, but is not right to call me some one who don't know what sofa is.. 

the point is I had 100 occupancy for 6 months straight.. I need to fix the villa from time to time to.. this instant booking is good.. but we also should be able to determine the duration or time that is best for us to maximise our performance.. is because we are a good host, and we will not be a sitting ducks for those who is looking money from traveling.. 

If make every thing to the extreme strict and to by the book..

what experience can we offer as Airbnb with love..

might as well be. property agent..

fore play is good.. as important as smile, saying thank you,  and safe journey..

we all lost many connection through pandemic ..

and THIS IS booking with put choice .. Is not the Airbnb that I love...

Sincerely,

MANASUI "Beutifull Magic"
