Booking settings and Instant Book

The right cancellation policy depends on you and your listing. You can choose a flexible, moderate, firm, or strict cancellation policy.

Hosts can choose to offer a non-refundable option—guests get a discount off the base price and Hosts keep their entire payout if a guest cancels.

If you state that your place is suitable for children, it's up to you if you want to provide special amenities or safety equipment.

Hosts can set up Instant Book, which allows guests to make a reservation without waiting for Host approval.
