How to book on Airbnb

The Airbnb online platform allows a guest to rent an apartment or even just a room in a host's house in a comfortable and economical way. If you are planning a trip and you are thinking of venturing to use this modern service to find a way out, pay attention to the following article where we show you how to book on Airbnb.

First, to book an accommodation on Airbnb, click on the "Reserve it!" or "Reservation request", located on the corresponding announcement page or in your message thread. First, you must make sure you have entered the correct data for the reservation.

Remember that you are always in time to cancel the reservation during this process by closing the window of your browser. Before sending the reservation request, it is advisable that you complete your profile and contact the host through Airbnb.

Next, you must enter the billing information so you can make the payment. These include the country, the debit or credit card number, the type of card, its expiration date and the security code. Also, if you have a discount coupon you will be offered the possibility to enter your code to redeem it.

Third, you simply have to accept the policies, terms and conditions of the service by checking the box that is indicated below the payment page. This includes the house rules and the cancellation policy. Also, keep in mind that if you do not accept these conditions you can not proceed to make the reservation.

Finally, you have to be patient until the host answers your request. Once submitted, the dates you have selected for your reservation will be marked as "not available" in the accommodation calendar. In this way, the reservation is avoided in duplicate. But this does not mean that your request is accepted, as you will have to wait for a maximum of 24 hours to get the response from the host.

If accepted, the payment will be processed immediately, taking place the collection of the amount. On the other hand, if you reject the charge will not take place and you should continue looking for another accommodation.

As for the function of "Instant booking ", this is a service available in some accommodations that allows you to book without requiring an approval of your request by the host. To do this, the guest only has to indicate the dates on which they intend to stay, as well as the details of their arrival at the host's house. At no additional cost, this service can be applied through the search filters of the website and the only requirement is that the tenant must have a profile picture published.

In addition, it should be noted that regardless of whether the reservation is made for a couple of days or for several months, Airbnb withholds the payment made by the tenant for 24 hours after arriving at the accommodation. It is then when you release the amount to the host to be able to guarantee the security of the service.
