Understand the consequences of your actions
Response rate
The faster and more positively you respond to inquiries, the more visible your listing becomes.
Not responding to messages from interested tenants can penalize you in search results.
Pre-approval
As a host, you can pre-approve or decline a request.
Pre-approval indicates that the accommodation is available for the requested dates and that the tenant can pay.
You can pre-approve multiple tenants at the same time. The first one to pay confirms the booking.
Remember to then withdraw the pre-approval for other candidates.
⚠️ Pre-approval does not guarantee the booking. The tenant can still change their mind.
Do not manually block your calendar after a pre-approval, otherwise you will no longer receive new inquiries.
Declined
You can decline a request if the profile or dates are not suitable.
If you change your mind, you can reopen the request and offer the accommodation again by clicking the “ Modify dates / price ” button.
Cancellation by host
Canceling a booking can have a negative impact on your listing's ranking in search results.
