How can I protect my response rating?

[Cathy19]

I am going to be "unplugged" alot during the month of May as I will be backpacking and again for 8 days in late August.  I am wondering how I should manage my Airbnb account during these times?  Is there a way to hide it while I am away.... or to set up an automatic response?  The only message I have missed in the past year is when I was travelling through time zones on a 12 hr flight.
