Introduction
Snoozing an Airbnb listing can be a useful feature for hosts who need to temporarily pause their rental activity. Whether you’re going on vacation, renovating your property, or simply need a break, snoozing your Airbnb listing allows you to temporarily remove it from search results without losing any of your listing’s information or reviews. In this article, we will explore the steps to snooze an Airbnb listing effectively.
How to Snooze Your Airbnb Listing
Step 1: Log in to your Airbnb account: Open your preferred web browser and go to the Airbnb website. Log in to your host account using your username and password.
Step 2: Go to the hosting dashboard: Once logged in, you will be directed to your Airbnb hosting dashboard. If you’re not automatically redirected, click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select “Host” from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Select the listing you want to snooze: In the hosting dashboard, you will see a list of your active listings. Find the listing you want to snooze and click on it to access the listing management page.
Step 4: Navigate to the availability settings: On the listing management page, you will find a menu on the left-hand side. Click on “Availability” to access the availability settings for your listing.
Step 5: Activate the snooze feature: In the availability settings, you will see an option to snooze your listing. Click on the “Snooze” button to activate this feature.
Step 6: Set the snooze dates: A calendar will appear, allowing you to select the start and end dates for the snooze period. Choose the dates that you want your listing to be snoozed and click “Save” or “Confirm” to finalize your selection.
Step 7: Review and confirm: Before the snooze is applied, Airbnb will provide a summary of the dates you have selected. Review this information to ensure it is correct, and if everything is in order, click “Confirm” to proceed.
Additional Considerations
Notifications to guests: When you snooze your listing, Airbnb will notify any guests who have already booked your property during the snooze period. They will be offered a full refund, and you will not be penalized for canceling the reservation.
Calendar availability: While your listing is snoozed, the dates you selected will be blocked on your calendar, and guests will not be able to book those dates. However, keep in mind that if you have multiple listings, only the snoozed listing will be affected.
Reactivating your listing: If you want to reactivate your listing before the snooze period ends, you can simply follow the same steps and click on the “Unsnooze” button. Your listing will then become active and available for bookings again.
Conclusion
Snoozing an Airbnb listing is a straightforward process that allows hosts to temporarily pause their rental activity without losing any important information or reviews. By following the steps outlined in this article, hosts can effectively snooze their listings and take a break whenever needed.
