How to read and send messages
It all starts with a message, whether you have a question about a listing or want to book a stay right away. You do have to be logged in to your Airbnb account to read or send messages.
Getting in touch with a Host starts a message thread you can go back to, and once you’ve taken that first step, your Messages help you keep all your communication organised for all your trips.
Just click on a message thread to read an existing message or send a new one. You can filter, search and archive your messages to stay on top of your conversations.
If you’re a Host, you’ll find all of your messages in one place.
If a message makes you feel uncomfortable or someone tries to get you to pay outside Airbnb, click or tap the flag or three dots next to the message and select report this message to let us know.
