I have an issue around the Availability Setting. I have my availability window set to "6 months in advance". I had not yet set the prices I wanted for the summer of 2022 and the rates that were in there were very low. I figured no one could reserve those dates. I just received an instant booking for July 17-21 of 2022 at the really low rate.
I have called Airbnb and want to know 1) how this happened, and 2) if they will cancel the booking on their end so I don't take the hit for it. Should I expect a response from them? Does anyone know what might be going on or how to fix this in the mean time? I have now gone in and set high rates for the summer months of 2022, just in case anyone else tries to book more than six months out, but there sits the July 17-21 booking at an insanely low rate. And, the calendar is available way farther than six months out.
Check out the second screen capture. It shows the booking on July 2022. Then, while in hosting mode, I highlighted the dates of July 3 to July 9, 2022 (and it is showing as available), over in the right hand column under Availability, it shows an option of "Unavailable until January 5, 2022 Based on your 6-month availability window" What the hell?? that is about 3 months from now.
