how do i disallow same day bookings

[Alisha174]

I am wondering how I can still allow instant bookings except for same day bookings?

Hey @Alisha174 , go to your listing settings and adjust the "advance notice" requirement to at least one day; this means guests will need to book at least one day in advance to use the instant booking feature, effectively blocking same-day reservations.

You have some really cool properties, and you Bella vista listing is well optimized but your Omaha one is missing some sections, make sure to optimize it so hopefully it can perform as well the first. Good luck!

I believe you can use the setting slider that allows requires guests to request to book for stays less than your Advance Notice setting:

One thing I forgot to mention...

I have heard some mention that the 1day advance notice is not 24hrs. Basically someone can instant book your place at 11:59PM today and still arrive for checkin the next day at 3PM. Many Hosts use 2day advance notice to prevent that from happening.

If you want a full day between bookings (some need that due to their schedules), use:

1. 2-Day Advance Notice
2. 1-Day between Bookings

Using the slider option shown below in the screen shot on your settings allows you to accept someone booking last minute if you want to.
