Booking requests: what happens when a traveler asks for your place

Here's what happens when a traveler sends you a booking request on Hodi.

Step 1: A new request

You get an email, New booking request. In your dashboard, it waits under Requests, marked Awaiting review.

Step 2: Hodi checks with you

The Hodi team checks availability with you before confirming anything to the traveler. Keep these dates free.

Step 3: Messages

Messages with the traveler go through Hodi. Phone numbers, emails and links stay hidden until the stay is confirmed.

Step 4: Decline if needed

Not free? Click Decline this request, and add a short reason if you like. The traveler is told, and the dates are free again.
