The guest asked to change dates or guests: what do I do?

How you see a change request, how long you have to answer and what happens with the price if it goes up or down.

When a change request arrives

  • Only on confirmed (already paid) bookings. Before paying, the guest edits their own request with "Modify request" and you see it as a new request.
  • They can ask for other dates or time, more or fewer guests or pets. The new price is calculated by the app with your rates; nobody types it by hand.
  • An experience, service, table or event can no longer be changed once it started. An ongoing stay can (for example to extend checkout).
  • There can only be one pending change request per booking.

Where you see it

  • You get a notification and a card shows up in the chat with "Review and respond".
  • In "Today", under the "Changes" filter, the task "… requested a change" appears. Tap it to open the booking.
  • On the booking you will see "Pending modification request" with before and after, and the money breakdown.

Accept or decline

  • Tap "Accept" or "Decline". You have 24 hours; if you do not answer, the change is declined automatically and the booking stays as it was.
  • Declining a change does not cancel the booking and has no penalty.
  • Before accepting, check your calendar: the app verifies that the new dates are free (including those imported via iCal).

Proposing a change yourself

  • On the confirmed booking tap "Modify booking" and select the new dates or guest count. The guest has 24 hours to accept.
  • If what you want is to charge something additional (an agreed extra night, a damage), use "Propose an extra payment" from the booking.

While a modification is pending the booking cannot be cancelled, by you or by the guest. Answer it first.
