guests with reviews only

[Richard2990]

Hello, I am new to hosting and would only like those who have reviews on Airbnb to be able to book my home.  How do I do this in settings?  I thought I had it but found a booking I had to decline or accept from a person without reviews.  Is it possible to somehow not allow those without reviews to request a reservation/book?

@Richard2990 generally if your settings preclude a booking then the guest is able to request one. 

I do find it amusing though that you, as a new host, want  guests to trust you but you but you don't trust new guests.....

Hi Mike-And-Jane0,

Yes, it is funny from your side.

I, as a new host, allowed everyone to book. The result was surprising!  I had a left full suitcase and taken one set of key and than ..... a police drug raid!!!

The result is really funny: lots of money lost on repairs, lost bookings, blood on walls and bed, bed with a pool of piss and mess, like you see on movies after police search!

So, good on you @Richard 2990!

You should have an option to protect yourself as a host!
