More details
If a message makes you feel uncomfortable or someone tries to get you to pay outside Airbnb, click the flag icon next to the message to let us know.
When you click on a message, you can read the conversation and also find the following info (either on the page if you're on a desktop computer, or by tapping the Details link at the top of the messages if you're using the Airbnb app):
- Host or guest profiles including number of reviews, verifications, and description
- Reservation and payment details such as date of inquiry, number of guests, and price breakdown
- Events such as reservation confirmations, pre-approvals, and special offers that are notated in the timeline of the conversations
- Any actions that are needed from you including booking inquiries or reservation requests (you’ll find a prompt at the top of the page, above the conversation)
Hosts will also find info about how much the guest is paying and what they will earn, along with a snapshot of their calendar.
