Booking policies

Instant Book vs Request to Book

Instant Book is a feature that allows users to book the listing/home -instantly. The opposite of this is Request to book.

The differences are that when a home is on request to book you the host will receive a message to accept or decline the booking.
On - instant book, this additional step and the book is automatically accepted.

If the check-in is within 48 hours of the booking (today, tomorrow, the day after) - the instant book feature is automatically disabled, to provide hosts with the opportunity to make sure they can accept last-minute bookings.

Benefits of Instant Book

If you have Instant Book on you get 28% more bookings than homes not on Request to book. We also push your home higher up in the search results if it is on Instant Book. Guests prefer instant book as it offers them more security.

We also automatically offer ID verification of the guest which is conducted by Onfido.
