How Long Do I Have to Wait for a Host to Reply?

Hosts have 24 hours to accept or decline your request, but most reply within 12 hours. In many cases, you’ll hear back even quicker, with over half of all trip requests being accepted within one hour of the Host reading it.
You can check the status of your trip request at any time, and you’ll receive email updates when there are changes.
When a Host confirms your request, your payment will be processed and collected in full. If they decline or let it expire, you won’t be charged, and you’re free to book a different stay.
