What happens when I archive the conversation with a booking request?

[Ruslan62]

If I get a booking request and archive that conversation, will it get declined automatically?

Hello @Ruslan62 

If you receive a booking request that means that a guest wants to book your place and you have 24 hours to give them a yes or a no answer.  If you decide to ignore this booking request, Airbnb will consider that you have refused the reservation and this will go against you in your statistics.  Archiving the request is the same as not answering I'm afraid.

Here's an Airbnb link that explains this:

All the best
