Auto-Approval: A Simple Way to Host on Your Terms

Hosting should fit into your life, not the other way around. Auto-Approval is an optional feature designed to help streamline stay requests, reduce back-and-forth messaging, and keep your hosting experience organized and stress-free.

With Auto-Approval, qualifying stay requests are approved instantly based on your preferences and availability. The system respects your calendar and will never overbook your location, helping you host with confidence while spending less time managing requests and more time focusing on what matters most.

    No need to monitor messages throughout the day. Auto-Approval handles qualifying requests automatically.

  2. Stay organized
    Your availability, blocked dates, and hosting preferences stay in sync in one place.

  3. Create a better guest experience
    Fast confirmations mean fewer follow-ups and smoother stays for both you and your guests.

    Ideal for hosts balancing farms, wineries, businesses, travel, or family life.

  5. Designed for busy hosts

Built With Host Peace of Mind

Auto-Approval includes safeguards designed with host feedback in mind:

  • Guests you’ve marked as Will Not Host Again will require manual approval

  • Guests you’ve previously reported will require manual approval

  • The system will not approve stays on blocked or unavailable dates

  • Optional stay-by-stay notifications keep you informed

You stay in control while Auto-Approval works quietly in the background.


You’re Always in Control

Auto-Approval is flexible and optional. You can turn it on anytime from your Host Dashboard, adjust your preferences, or switch back to manual approvals whenever you’d like by reaching out to your Host Experience Manager.
