Cancelled booking

[Rob97]

Hi,

I cancelled a booking for the 3 day NY period. However those dates are now available again. Air BnB has blocked the dates out and I can't reopen them for other people to book.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Rob

If you cancel a booking then the days are blocked, have you read the penalties for cancelling?

Hi Rob - First rule is - never cancel a reservation unless you have legitimate reason. There are penalties involved. Also, if you want to attain and retain Superhost status (which has some benefit) that's a big no, no.

There are some exceptions so you should get familair with the host cancellation policies.  Here's a link with that info.

Hope that helps,
