When a guest sends you a reservation inquiry, you can encourage them to complete their booking using either a pre-approved or a customized special offer.
Keep in mind, you can only set up your special offer via Airbnb.
Note:
When sending special offers for multiple guests for the same dates, whoever accepts the offer first will have their booking confirmed.
Pre-approvals vs. special offers
Much like pre-approvals, special offers can be used to invite the inquirer to complete their reservation.

How Airbnb special offers work
Here are a few guidelines about Airbnb's special offers:
- Basic and additional fees won't apply to reservations that are booked with a special offer on Airbnb — meaning special offers override pricing rules.
Important:
If you'd like to include basic and additional fees in the final price, make sure to include the price for them in your special offer's total price. -
The listing's availability rules (such as length of stay restrictions) will apply to special offers.
-
Alterations for reservations made with special offers will be priced as rebooking.
- Guests will have 24 hours to accept a special offer.
