Here’s how it works:

• Instant Book allows guests to confirm a reservation immediately without waiting for host approval.
• Listings with Instant Book will display a blue “Book” button (instead of “Request to Book”).
• Hosts who enable Instant Book typically have complete profiles, good reviews, and verified identities, which helps build trust.
• Even with Instant Book, some stays may still require a message to the host or pre-approval, especially for longer trips or special requirements.

To use Instant Book:

1. Search for a property that has the Instant Book option.
2. Select your dates and click “Book.”
3. Confirm your payment and travel details.
4. Your reservation is confirmed instantly!

✅ Accepted Payment Methods:

The booking process on here can take just a few minutes, depending on the type of listing and whether Instant Book is available.

Here’s a breakdown:

For Listings with Instant Book:

• Time: Less than 5 minutes.
• You select your dates, confirm traveler details, enter payment, and book immediately.
• No waiting — your reservation is confirmed right away.

For Listings with Request to Book:

• Time: Up to 24 hours for host response.
• After you submit a request, the host has 24 hours to accept or decline.
• If accepted, your booking is confirmed instantly.
• If declined or not responded to in time, you’ll be notified and can try another listing.

Additional Factors That May Affect Timing:

• Longer stays or special requirements: Some hosts may require extra info (like a message or verification), which can slow things down slightly.
• Pre-approvals: First-time guests or new accounts may need to verify ID or complete profile steps before booking.
• Payment processing: Usually instant, but rare delays can occur if payment verification is needed.

Tip: To speed up the process, ensure your profile is complete, including a verified ID and preferred payment method.

In short:
Instant Book = Confirmed in minutes
Request to Book = Wait up to 24 hours for host approval
