Pre approvals!

[Laura2001]

I just listed my place, and have people booking w/o me even approving it! I want the choice of who to accept, etc. What is going on?!!

hello @Laura2001 ,

You probably have "Instant Book" activated (default when creating new listing):

@Laura2001   And even after you turn it off, check that setting on a regular basis- there are hosts here who say it has just gotten turned back on again when they didn't do that.
