Managing reservations made simpler

Reservation Details Article Image.jpg

 

You’ve told us that managing reservations from home or on the go could be easier and more consistent. As we did with changes to your reservations list, we’ve listened to your feedback, studied hosts’ concerns raised with the community-support team, and run research studies to understand how we could improve your experience. Here’s a sneak peek of upcoming changes built on your input.

 

Consistent information wherever you go

Soon, whether you’re managing reservations on the Airbnb app or website, you’ll have the same set of reservation details available. What’s more, anywhere you see a reservation—in your calendar, the message thread, your dashboard, or your reservations list—you’ll be able to take action right from that screen, which means it will be faster and more efficient for you to handle each reservation.

More details about reservations and guests

We’re giving you more specific information about the status of each reservation. And you’ll also get more details about the guest associated with each reservation without having to click into their profile. You’ll know how long they’ve been on Airbnb, what languages they speak, and if they’re a host like you, so you can make confident booking decisions and interact with your guests efficiently and quickly, all from one screen.

 

More payment details

You’ve told us that you wanted your expected payout dates to be even more visible. Numerous hosts called our  community support team about this, so we made sure payout dates were easier to find. We’ve added a link to your transaction history and expected payout dates alongside every reservation.

 

Answers to your frequently asked questions, right where you need them

By studying the types of questions that come up most often for inquiries and reservations, we’ve been able to anticipate what answers might be most helpful to you based on the reservation you’re currently managing. We’ve added links to reservation-specific FAQs at the bottom of every reservation so you can get the information you need, when you need it.

 

More consistent tools and views

Previously, if you had Instant Book turned on for a listing, you could only hold dates when you pre-approved a guest on the website. Now you can do so in the app too. And the private notes feature, which was previously available only in the calendar, is now available anywhere you see a reservation.

 

All these improvements are coming your way in the next few months, and we hope they help make quick work of managing your reservations. Thanks to all the hosts who gave us feedback and joined focus groups. Let us know what you think of these changes and others you’d like to see.

Messaging seem to be even slower now and messages may not be reaching people properly.

 

The main problem I have is the lag (loading pages in admin takes forever)!!

I wish you would create something where people searching for pet-friendly properties have to click yes or no on a pet when they are booking their reservation and then it automatically adds in the price of the pet fee, just as it does the cleaning fee. I am constantly trying to chase down pet fees independent of the reservation and they rarely get paid.

I like to keep a printed copy of all my guests reservations. Unfortunately the format you are using requires 3 sheets of paper. Could you make the reservation more compact?

Have you changed the description on our listing at 10 Catherine Street Bluff Point.  Somehow we are having people wanting breakfast and say that it has been advertised?

 

Also, it appeasr booking are being made without our authorisation.

 

Can you shed any light on this.

how do i cancel reservations

tried to accept alteration to my guests booking on my phone, but screen didn't move down.  Had to use computer laptop to complete it.  its ok now, but look into computer glitch. 

I would like to see the guest's invoice with all charges as wells as the pay out to ensure proper payment has been applied on every reservation once confirmed.  There is not a section to add additional fees like: late arrival or additional guest. At times, guest request special services that they want me to coordinate for them, for example: flowers, catering or a chef service,  how should I add these services that I coordinate for the client?

what criteria did you use to remove the key button with a link to the check-in instructions ? how do you expect hosts to share check-in instructions with their guests ?

short of words on how frustrating it is to share check-in instructions right now.

Where has the 'send special offer' button gone?

Airbnb in incapable of letting things settle  they continually change rules regulations and conditions like a restless child, inflicting their latest changes on hosts and ignoring hosts suggestions,

Why doesn't Airbnb provide a path to collect state taxes as required by law?

Your sister company  VRBO has always managed that.
