Question | is it possible to change “main guest” in a confirmed reservation

[Yadira22]

Hello all,

Hope you are well. 
Is it possible to change the “main guest” once a reservation has been confirmed? Any ideas/suggestions please let me know.

Thank you in advance,

Yadira  🙂

@Yadira22  The guest can change the name in profile whatever is. 

You can can just ask the guest to change the name to whoever the main guest is.:-). I am kidding btw. 

I don’t think that it is possible to switch a booking from one guest account to another guest account. Otherwise, it opens up a security hole.

Hi Yadira,

Is it related to a third party booking or the original "main guest" can't come?

[Yadira22]

@Kit45 thank you for the response, the main guest can’t come.

@Yadira22 CS can. You can’t. Guest can’t. 
guest has to initiate the call to CS

You accepted the booking based on the background of the guest who booked @Yadira22 

If the person who has booked now can't come and they want to keep the booking you can suggest that they speak to Airbnb and have one of the other guests who is registered on Airbnb take over the booking.

Do make sure the new guest meets the same qualifying critieria as the original guest i.e. verified photo ID and whatever else you use to vet your guests.
