I have instant book. I also have 3 listings. One of my listings is for my whole house. I have it set to 1 days advance notice before guest arrival. Today, thank god, I received an inquiry and not an instant book.
A guest inquired about today through the 1st of October. I was all????????? OMG! What if they instant book? I am having windows repaired, pressure washing done, and my friends dogs are here for a few hours? I have not cleaned every surface as I do within the 1 day before the guest arrives.
I notice this box directly below reservation preferences. It is for instant book hosts to allow guests to send reservation requests without advanced notice. It was CHECKED!! People, I know I did NOT check that box.
I was so disappointed that ABB would check that box for me and wait until; I was having a heart attack for me to discover. ABB needs to be more commutative with us hosts. Making mountains out of mole hills, forcing instant book on those who do not want it, forcing guests into people’s homes who are not welcome and checking boxes added without our knowledge is mad science and it really makes us SAD.
We love this App. We are saddened that some at ABB seem to be on a NEW COKE continual downward spiral and you won't stop until we are all nearly bankrupt. I don't understand, are you trying to thin the ranks because let me tell you what you may discover a success in this area.
You are now doing a very great job of forcing hosts to seek out other alternatives to these forced policies to BOLDY go where no ABB Host has gone before.
ABB is a GREAT Success. It has created a space between to the benefit of all. It is NOT broken, why do you insist on fixing it to the detriment of all?
If it ain't broke STOP fixint it.
