Hi everyone,I had a situation today that I’d love your input on as fellow hosts.A guest who had a confirmed reservation reached out on the same day as check-in to ask if they could change the dates to after thanksgiving.While I always aim to be flexible when possible, this request came after today’s booking was already locked in, and allowing the change would mean I lose that night’s income with very little chance of rebooking last-minute.To be clear — the guest is not asking to cancel (initially wanted to cancel but now ...), just to move the entire reservation to new dates, which Airbnb typically treats as a modification.
