Open calender after cancel

Open calender after cancel

i canceled a booking as the dates they requested over lapped with another booking for the room, due to that though it has blocked the dates of the canceled booking on my calender... i would like to free up those dates as i have someone looking for the room on the dates that would suit me.

Please advise as soon as possible for me to keep that reservation.

thanks,

regards

If you cancel a guest your calendar will become permanently blocked, there may also be a fine.

@Anthony126  Hello and welcome to Air BNB.  I reviewed your listing and see that you are so new you are still in process of becoming verified yourself with only one verification.  Also you have Instant Booking turned on.  New hosts are often blindsided by an instant book as you are still learning how to work this platform and how to be a host.  

 

If you can, turn off IB.  Also take time to learn about being a host. There are many, many helpful articles about hosting.  You have already made the biggest mistake a host can make by cancelling a booking on this platform.  Because you are so new, perhaps you can speak with Air BNB and explain your error as a new host.   On this site is a great guide to contacting Air BNB.  Look for it under community guides.

 

Also, 5 day minimum will be a big deterrent for travelers who are searching, especially for a private room.  If you don't have many inquiries you might consider setting a lower minimum stay.  You have a lot of pictures of the room which is good, but you need to have pictures of any space the guest will be allowed to use, such as the kitchen.  Good Luck!
