A
pre-approval is a way for the host to let their guests know that their listing
is available when asked if it's possible to book. Once pre-approved, the guest
can automatically confirm a booking for the specified dates.
The
hosts
When
you pre-approve a guest's request, you're giving them permission to
automatically confirm a reservation on specific dates. Dates won't be stuck on
your calendar, so you can pre-approve multiple guests at once.
Customers
have 24 hours to confirm a reservation that has been pre-approved. After 24
hours, the guest can still request to book your listing with the price offered
during the pre-approval, unless you remove the pre-approval. You can remove the
pre-approval at any time in the thread.
Guests
If a
host has sent you a pre-approval, your reservation is not confirmed until you
click Book in the host thread and added your payment information. Hosts can
send pre-approvals to many potential guests. If you've found the perfect space,
make sure you complete the booking process as soon as possible.
You
have 24 hours to accept a pre-approval before it expires. If 24 hours have
passed, you can still accept pre-approval, but your host will need to approve
your request before your reservation is confirmed.
