Calendar unblocking itself

[Fran23]

Does anyone find the calendar unblocks certain dates? I find I get bookings for dates that have been blocked. Airbnb says I unblock the dates myself but I dont do this! Anyone have any ideas on fixing the glitch? 

Thanks

@Fran23 

Are the opened dates random, or are they in a row ?

Check you setting for "availability window".

Thanks for replying. Sometimes random, sometimes dates in a row. So weird when I block them and then they get unblocked by magic!

Happens to me nearly every day. I've been asking AirBnB for help since October and every single time they state the same thing; their system can't unblock dates. Which, as you and I know, is untrue. At this point I'm disgusted by the response to this serious issue and have had zero success with AirBnB fixing it. I have checked everything they have deterred the problem to and nothing on my end or in my settings should be causing it. I'll follow this thread in case you might have better luck.

@Fran23 FINALLY think I got it figured out. Try going into your Calendar Availability settings and make sure Availability Window is set to "Dates unavailable by default". That seemed to have correct the issue of my dates getting unblocked randomly by system. Hope that helps! Fingers crossed!

@Trish103 thank you for sharing this here. It would be good to know if this works for you too @Fran23.

Tha ks I will do that, much appreciated.
