I initially listed my property with a flexible check-in and 5 PM check-out. I do keep a gap night in between guests, so I have all evening to turn over the unit even if the guest is arriving early the next day, but I'm finding that I want to build myself more time than that, and institute a noon check-in/noon check-out so I have minimum 24 hours to turn over.
I have several bookings for the next couple of months. Does changing my check-in/check-out time impact those bookings, or must I honor the terms at the time of their booking?
I'd love to just be able to have people out of there by noon from this day forward, but I'm not sure if AirBnB requires me to honor the times listed when they first booked, similar to how they would honor the original price if I changed my listing price.
I wouldn't want to leave anyone scrambling so I would offer to hold their luggage and direct them to a nearby coffee shop or similar, if someone had been counting on arriving early or leaving late. I just want to be able to know I can schedule the cleaners to come at 1 PM and know the unit won't be occupied.
