Airbnb have taken an automatic booking inside my 48 hour notice period

This is not the first time an automatic booking has been taken in my 48 hour notice period. How do I stop this happening without turning off automatic booking?

hello @Annie506& welcome to CC.

Whilst I don't have the answer, I'm sure one of your lovely fellow Australians that are online here in CC can help answer your query!

@Laura_C!!

@Annie506 the notice period can be a bit confusing.

It's not strictly 48hrs, but the cut off is midnight. If your check in time is from 6pm, the cut off is not 6pm 2 days before but midnight of that day. E.g Your calendar for a Sunday is free & you have a 48 hour cut off. This means that a guest can book up to midnight on Friday, which is 42 hours not 48. Hope this makes sense 🙂
