Hello, I am a new host. Yesterday I received my first inquiry and it was automaticly accepted.

I did not get asked to accept or decline. The inquiry message is in my inbox with accepted and dates are blocked.

Can anyone help me with taking this auto accept off?

Hi Linda, I guess you had the instant booking automatically turned on? Do you see the lightning sign next to your listing's name? If it is there, you have instant book option on, so all bookings get automatically accepted. You can turn it off, hopefully, by editing your settings.

Thank you Ana! Someday I hope to visit you! You would love it here also. Summer is glorious and winter pristine.

Hello @Linda703

If you have a look through the Airbnb Help Centre it shows you how to remove Instant Book - Airbnb will try and persuad you to keep it but keep going and evenually you can remove it.

As a new host you get a boost through Airbnb so don't worry about not getting any booking.

Thank you Helen! Yes jumping through hoops but it worked.
