Help - How to deal with a fake request to solicit business?

[Robert136]

I have a reservation request for two nights that is taking up my calender this weekend but the "guest" is a local business using this method to effectively text me to solicit buisness by asking me to refer his company to my guests.   I am concerned if I deny his fake request it will go against my rating, and do not want to accept him for any reason. Any ideas how to open up these dates without having it impact my AirBnB status?

Just report him to BnB and decline his booking.

It only goes against you if you cancel a confirmed booking.

Good luck Helen

How do I report unwanted business solitcitations to Airbnb?

Just decline the booking and flag the guest profile - easy...
