How do I manage booking requests on Hostmade?
When a guest sends a booking request from your site, it appears in your booking inbox in the dashboard (with a pending-count badge) and you get an email right away. Open the request to see the dates and details, then confirm or decline it.
Where requests show up
- In your dashboard, the site shows a pending booking count so you can see new requests at a glance.
- You also get an email the moment a request comes in.
Confirm or decline a request
- Open the site's Booking panel and find the request in the inbox.
- Review the requested dates and the guest's details.
- Confirm it (then take payment and finalize the stay your usual way) or Decline it.
Set up notifications and rules
You choose the notification email and a minimum-nights rule in the Booking settings. See setting up direct booking for the full setup, including connecting your Airbnb calendar.
