Testing the reservation

[Hafize0]

Hi, im new to hosting on Airbnb. Im trying to find a way to test my reservation. Like the View u can check how your listings look like, i would like to see the auto generated messages Airbnb is sending the guests after the reservation.

For example. I would like to see how the automated messages look, when a guest booked a room or apartment (Automessage Check-In, Check-Out, Cleaning Instructions etc.)

Is it possible to somehow trigger a test reservation, so i can get those messages, which otherwise the guests would get?

Thank you

@Hafize0 Airbnb often provides tools for hosts to preview their listing as guests would see it. This feature, however, may not extend to viewing automated messages. Check your host dashboard for any options to preview messages or notifications. As for the test reservation, I haven't tried this. It is best to check if Airbnb allows this, but as far as I'm aware, Hosts can't reserve your listing even if it's just a test. Hope this helps!

To see how your Scheduled Messages and Quick Replies appear to a guest, you can have a friend send you an inquiry (not an actual booking). Once you receive the inquiry you can just respond. Then go to that message thread and hit the plus sign next to the message window. Choose a Scheduled Message or Quick Reply to see how it will appear (don't hit send). After you view it, just delete the message:
