Same thing happened to me twice in 24h with same guest but different rooms and I asked Airbnb to unblock my calendar because I never received a booking request from the guest.
I wonder how a new member can get access to instant booking if he’s not verified?
When contacting support they assumed I’ve accepted a booking request and therefore my calendar have been blocked twice two nights in a row. This is not ok.
Whats the point having direct booking if Airbnb let’s non verified guests go ahead with instant bookings before they have been verified. It looks like Airbnb wants to buy time for their customers on my expense.
I see this as a form of ”pre-booking” to hold rooms, could it be a system failure or is it something accepted?
