Instant Booking issues

[Jason159]

Hi team. Have a problem with my listing. In my settings I have instant booking activated yet when you search under this criteria my listing doesnt come up and when guest go into my listing they have to request to book. This issue has just arisen in the last few days. Has this happened to anyone else? Any thoughts on how to resolve the problem? Thanks Jason

@Jason159 have you altered the require gov ID and reviews by hosts.

I don't have either so it comes up as request to book.

A common reason Instant Book hosts (or their friends) may not see their listing is that they’ve chosen to require a guest have positive reviews in order to make a book their space. If you’ve chosen this requirement, it means your listing will show up as a Request to Book, not an Instant Book, listing for logged out users or new guests if the Instant Book filter is applied. This is because a logged out or new traveler will not be eligible to instantly book your place.
