How to hold dates for a guest

Sometimes hosts want to make dates on their calendar available so that only a certain guest can book. There are a few ways you can hold dates for a guest:

If a guest requests to book

Dates are automatically held once you accept a guest’s request to book until you accept or decline, the request expires, or the guest withdraws their request. If you accept, the guest’s dates will continue to be held while we’re awaiting payment or awaiting verification.

If a guest sends an inquiry

You can pre-approve an inquiry that a guest has sent you, and the guest has 24 hours to accept or decline your pre-approval before it expires. If a guest hasn’t accepted a pre-approval or your situation has changed, you can withdraw the pre-approval.
