Lead time not working on AirBnB

I have my properties set with a 2 day lead time because I can’t always accommodate same day booking. AirBnB is still allowing them and since I’m setup on ownerrez, I can’t change the setting direct in AirBnB. How do I get the lead time feature to work correctly so they can’t book same day…. Or it least i have to approve same day booking first.

Airbnb has a separate Lead Time setting, in its API Settings page.

I guess this still the case in 2023?  I have a similar problem and Airbnb insists that my lead time has to be changed over here, but it's not working.

Yes, this still works the same way.  Please write in to the Helpdesk with a detailed explanation so we can investigate - this function has been pretty stable and reliable for awhile, so we should be able to get it sorted out for you.

Am I able to set one property on Airbnb to have a 14 day booking lead time and the rest as same-day booking?

Hi David,

Yes, you're able to do this.

You can set the Airbnb default on the Airbnb API Integration Settings page: Settings > Channel Integrations > Airbnb:

To change the Lead Time for a specific property, go to the Properties settings and you'll see the override setting in the Channel Rules section. This setting will be in effect for this property only. All of the others will follow the Airbnb API default.

If you have additional specific questions on this, feel free to ask! help@ownerrez.com
