What is the difference between instant-book and request deals?

Instant deals confirm immediately. Request deals need host approval first.

Instant deals are pre-approved by the property, so they confirm the moment you book, with no waiting.

Request deals need the host to accept your profile and dates first, usually because the property is more selective about timing or fit. You will be notified as soon as they respond, and nothing is locked in until they accept.
