Hi @Kathryn133

Not possible, its your punishment for cancelling, along with $100 fine and no superhost status for a year.

Now tell us why you cancelled, there might be a way round it.

i was in conversation with another guest about the time slot, when Airbnb automatically booked another person.

i canceled so i can offer the person i was in touch with the slot but it's not lettin them booked!

First time using this, it's very frustrating.

They really should have better warning to explain.
