It is called "Instant Book" and you can read here how to turn it on or off:

Hi @Adriana2230 

On the Airbnb app (iPhone/Android)

1. Open the Airbnb app
2. Tap Listings
3. Select the listing you want to edit
4. Go to Booking settings
5. Find Instant Book
6. Toggle it OFF
7. Tap Save

On desktop

1. Go to Airbnb → Listings

2. Click your listing

3. Click Booking settings

4. Switch Instant Book off

5. Click Save 

After you turn if off Guests will need to send a request first instead of booking instantly
