Is it an inquiry, or a request to book? These are different, and should be handled differently.

Hello @Peace-Stays0 

 

Just like @Trude0 says, the type of response and type of action required by Airbnb is different depending on whether you receive these spams as an information request or a trip request. 

 

If in doubt, please read the guide on the subject below and I hope that this will make you more confident on how to handle them:

@Peace-Stays0 For inquiries just reply (a dot will do) and then don't accept/reject as rejection will likely affect your search placement. For requests to book you need to accept or reject.
