Open cancelled reservation dates

[Donald441]

I had to cancel reservation 6 months ago.  Now I want to open those days up again on my calendar.  It won't let me

If you cancel a booking you have indicated the dates aren't available so you won't be able to unblock the dates @Donald441

Hello @Donald441 

If a host cancels a reservation, there are two penalties involved:

1. You are fined a % of the value of the stay which will be deducted from the next payment
2. Your calendar is permanently blocked by Airbnb.  Only alternative is to book using another platform I'm afraid

Hi @Donald441 

If you want to get the dates booked on another platform, you should temporarily unlink your calendars (otherwise Airbnb's calendar will keep blocking the dates on the other site at every update). Remember to link the calendars again as soon as the dates are booked or have passed, as you'll be at risk of double bookings while they're unlinked and will have to update both calendars manually in the meantime.

As I'm sure you're painfully aware, it's best to avoid a host cancellation as far as possible!
