I often have inquires come in from prospective guests who ask me to book their stay outside of AirBnB to avoid the service fees. I personally don't want to accommdate these requests. I also think I should report these inquires to AirBnB. How can I do that?
Hi @Deb18
On the message you will find a little flag, click it and one of the options is to report the person for trying to contact outside the system.
@Deb18You should definitely report. Go to the message where they're asking to book outside of Airbnb, and there will be a little icon that looks like a grey flag at the top right corner of their message. Click the flag, and select Request for payment outside of Airbnb as your reason for reporting.
Hello @Deb18,
Lovely to meet you.
Were you able to flag this potential guest in the end?
Thanks,
Lizzie
