Bookings

How do I turn off Instant Book? I have not a clue how it went on. I am flying out in the morning and would like to change this tonight.

How can I ensure a day is available between bookings?

Please direct me to these settings. I appreciate your help. Happy Weekend, Marianne

Hi @Geoff613,

Instant booking is located in your Listing Editor under YOUR SPACE.  Scroll down to the Booking Settings section.  Here is a screenshot.

Here is a direct link: https://www.airbnb.com/hosting/listings/editor/1306574288182606858/details/instant-book

To block a day before and after, you need to go into your listing calendar here and choose the Availability tab and then go to the Preparation Time section.: https://www.airbnb.com/multicalendar/1306574288182606858

Here is a screenshot.

I hope this helps and happy hosting!

@Geoff613:

Many hosts have mentioned what it seems that you’ve just experienced: That Instant Book has been «turned on», by someone/something other than the host. Or advance notice/preparation time settings being overridden. Or blocked dates opened. Or amenities added/removed. 

I haven’t had issues with this myself, but know hosts who have, so I’ve started to regularly check - and screenshot -  my settings and calendar. Just in case.
