Hello @Michele368,
This is very easy, I do it all the time! As @Marzena4 mentioned, make sure your are logged in, and logged in as "Hosting" rather than "Traveling" so you see the right messages.
Here is some more information if you need help:
How do I view and send messages?
Messaging on Airbnb starts when a guest makes an inquiry or reservation request. Afterward, all messages related to that inquiry or reservation request will appear in your inbox.
To view or send a message
- On airbnb.com, go to your Messages
- Select Traveling or Hosting
- Click on a message thread to view old messages or send a new one
If a message makes you feel uncomfortable or someone tries to get you to pay outside Airbnb, click the next to it to let us know.
Message Threads
When you click on a message, you can view the conversation and also the following information:
- Host or guest profiles including number of reviews, verifications, and description.
- Reservation and payment details such as date of inquiry, number of guests, and price breakdown.
- Events such as reservation confirmation, pre-approvals, and special offers are notated in the timeline of the conversations.
- If any actions are needed from you, you’ll see the prompt at the top of the page, above the conversation. Guests can make booking inquiries or reservation requests, and hosts will be able to accept or decline requests.
- Hosts will see what the guest pays and what they will earn. They will also be able to see a snapshot of their calendar.
Hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any more questions, happy to help!
Happy Hosting!
