This is advertised as an option but cant acess it using any of the istructions on the community dscussion pages. Niehr can i find a way to contact airbnb itsself. I am not a happy camper. I have spent early two hours trying to work this point out.

Hi - I assume you are a new host? If so, AirBnB is running a pilot whereby news hosts have to use Instant Booking.

 

Clearly there are many risks and issues for hosts - as you have no control over who is booking your place or coming to your home. You will see many threads on there with unhappy hosts.

 

For AirBnB it is a revenue generator as it encourages impulse bookings by guests.
