By default we only support instant book because it is proven that listings on instant book generate more bookings and have a better ranking. | |||
We strongly recommend to only use instant book but if required we can set individual listings to be bookable on request only. Airbnb only allows listings which are not listed on any other OTA which facilitates instant book to be set to 'Request'. This means if you only want requests from Airbnb you need to disconnect/can not use OTAs/portals like Booking.com, Expedia, Ctrip, Agoda | |||
