Strange bookings at midnight...

Hi there,

 

Recently, I have had a rash of late-night bookings: one at 11:54 pm, trying to book right away; another at 12:34, trying to check in that night for an early check-in the next day.

 

Also, someone has offered to scrub my less-than-five-star reviews.  All of this in one week.  Is there a chance that someone is scamming me, or is this just a coincidence?

Hi @Lucy1169 

I think it may just be a coincidence. If you prefer not to accept same-day or very late check-ins, you might want to adjust your availability settings. You can block same-day bookings, set a cut-off time for check-ins, or require at least 1 day’s notice before arrival. This helps avoid last-minute surprises and keeps your hosting schedule more manageable.

Hi @Lucy1169

 

I know it has been a little while since you asked your question here, so I wanted to check-in. 🙂

 

Have you received more of those types of bookings since? What do you think of Patricia's suggestions?

 

Have a lovely day,

 

Emilie
