Recent AirBnb update concerning last minute bookings

[Alessandro1802]

Is it me, or AirBnb removed the distinction between normal and last minute bookings, concerning the so called "Instant book"?

In the past, I could preserve the Instant Book possibility except from the last minute bookings, that are the most problematic. Now I had to turn off the option "Instant book", because I wouldn't be able to refuse the last minute ones, and that would be a problem for me.

With a certain irony, AirBnb describes now the "Instant book" as particularly useful for last minutes bookings...

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

@Alessandro1802,

Review your prep time and advance notice settings to help manage last-minute bookings, by restricting same day bookings and giving guests the ability to submit a booking request for short-notice bookings.
