What happens when you block a host or guest
If you block someone, they won’t be able to send you messages, book your listing or accept a reservation request from you.
Hosts or guests can’t be blocked for an upcoming or active reservation
It’s not possible to block your host or guest for an upcoming or active reservation, unless the reservation is cancelled. You can always contact us to step in and help.
