We don't allow same day requests for booking, ever.
Our Airbnb space is also our workspace studio and we don't keep it readily available for same day bookings, so we have this featured turned off, 2 days notice minimum.
Well i keep getting last minute same day requests anyways and it says I have to approve or decline.
I have to decline, is this going to impact my score?
Why are they allowing these to come through, it's against my booking window and I don't want to receive any same day requests so why can't i block these from coming through at all? I have it set to 48 hours notice for requests and i double checked again today, it still says the same thing.
Am i being penalized for declining them when they are against our booking policies? I had 2 already today so it's very frustrating and we are not in a high demand area and there's lots of hotel availability.
I had another guest request a 4 day stay today but in their comments asked it to be a one night stay only. We only do 4 night minimums at that property so again super annoying that I have to decline and potential get penalized as the guest made a booking request but they didn't actually want to honour their own request, they were trying to get something different all together.
Is there something i am missing that can totally block same day requests?
Am i being penalized for these declines? It's a little ridiculous.
