Perhaps she didn't send one, but I've never had that before, especially with a long term booking. Also, weirdly, there is no message showing from the guest. What I am confused about though is that, again, I haven't got a booking request that I can accept or decline. Perhaps the other hosts did not require it. Not sure what is going on here as the guest already has two reviews, but I guess in the past she was able to book without verified ID. It seems the guest has 12 hours from the original request to sort this out. The calendar is currently blocked for a 35 night stay by a guest who is apparently yet to verify her ID. In the meantime, the guest withdrew his request because I asked him to, but the whole thing was rather concerning. ![]() He asked me if I wanted to cancel and I said, sure, as long as there are no penalties to me seeing as I never accepted the booking in the first place. It was still showing as an enquiry on my end and I had at no point accepted or declined. I assured them that was 100% not what happened. I called up CS and was told from their side that not only was it showing as a request (rep even sent me a link to show me this), but that I had accepted it. At no point did I receive any booking request, but it had gone through none the less. This was a booking enquiry, not a reservation request. He is meanwhile messaging me to let me know he tried and failed to book using his father's credit card because the ID verification then wouldn't work. Next thing I know, my calendar is blocked for two months although the booking is not showing as confirmed as the payment hasn't been sorted. We went back and forth, but I asked him to respond to a couple of questions before booking. It appeared to be his first time booking on Airbnb and he had a few questions. Today a guest sent me an enquiry for a two month stay.
