Looking for a method of unblocking my calendar from "Canceled By You"

@Jerry116 I notice you cancelled a confirmed reservation. Host cancellations will automatically block the dates of the reservation in your calendar. There is no way for you to unblock them. It is one of the penalties applied to hosts that cancel confirmed reservations.

If you had a good reason to cancel the reservation that fits within AirBnB "penalty-free" cancellation guidelines, you can contact AirBnB support and explain what happened. If AirBnB agrees that you should be able to do that cancellation penalty-free, then they will unblock the dates and remove any penalties.

In the future, please do contact AirBnB if you need to do a host cancellation before you do the cancellation!

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for your response.

My cancellaion of a confirmed booking was due to a "rookie error".  I didn't anticipate an Instant Booking a full year ahead.  I have since changed the Booking Window from the default setting ("All future dates") to 9 months.  I respectfully request the consideration of airbnb to partially unblock the calendar to begin the block on January 4, 2019 instead of January 2, 2019 as presently set.

I am unable to locate a direct contact link to airbnb for assistance in resolving this special request.  Your further assistance would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jerry
