Confirmation

[Joan2155]

I've just received text and email to say booking confirmed from 9th to 16 Aug. I didn't receive a request & didn't confirm. Is this normal

@Joan2155 have you turned on Instant Booking or has it turned itself on? 

[Joan2155]

Thank you for your reply, I'm not sure, I'll check that out. 

[Joan2155]

Yes, instant book was turned on. Would that be an automatic thing as I don't remember turning it on?

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Joan2155 I think Instant Book is on by default when you set up the listing - That said I assume you would have noticed before now so it must have switched itself on. Airbnb did switch off Instant Book recently so perhaps they overdid the switching it back on again!

While you might not have turned IB on, it seems that it is on. If you are not able to accommodate the guest or do not think they would be a good fit for your listing, contact Air BNB and have them cancel.  Otherwise keep the booking.
