We send SMS (text) messages to Hosts when they receive a new booking.*
Several Hosts have requested more notice to respond to bookings as they don't always check email but we feel that a Guest should not have to wait more than 24 hrs for a response (many want immediate answers...) so we are doing everything we can to encourage Hosts to respond as quickly as possible.
Please contact us if you have any feedback on this subject.
*So as not to disturb Hosts who might receive bookings throughout the night, any bookings received between 10pm and 9am will send a text message shortly after 9am saying "You received a booking overnight!" unless you have read or responded to the booking in the meantime.
