I canceled a booking for August 2022. Now the dates are blocked. When they will be available again?

@Lukas259 

To my understanding, the dates are permanently blocked since you cancelled. Airbnb is extremely strict and penalizes hosts for cancelling.

That’s my understanding as well.

It’s better to ask the guest to cancel if possible.

They are blocked permanently..

It's in your best interest to familiarize yourself with how things work @Lukas259.  Do have a good read of the hosting articles in the help pages.
