How do i turn it off (instant booking) so i can talk to possible guests about what they want and are looking for instead of they booking prior to talking to me?
@Felipe-and-Silvia0 There is a long commentary on this subject you should read. It seems that Airbnb is setting Instant Book as a default on new listings and at the moment the hosts are not able to turn it off. 😞
Here's the discussion:

Thanks so much, Claire.
Really strange decision specially considering first hosts and the lack of experience dealing with new people at their house...
Thansk again.
@Felipe-and-Silvia0 Yeah, I know. If I were in charge I wouldn't do this. Just be sure that your calendar pricing and availability settings are as you want them so you don't have any surprises. I would also suggest that you set Verified ID as a reservation requirement (to the left of Calendar and More under Manage Listing on your Dashboard).
Thanks one more time!
