How do I sign up to receive last-minute guests?

Travelers use our Match feature to find available listings at the last minute. Match is just like our former Standby feature but now even better! 

We designed Match to make it faster for guests to check out and contact multiple listings at once. Based on their requirements, we present a number of listings that seem like a good fit. Then they write a message to all of the listings they like and wait to hear from the ones that are available. This is nearly identical to how guests previously submitted information to the Standby List, except now messages from guests appear in your inbox rather than on your Standby List. 

All you need to do to receive messages from guests using Match is to watch your Airbnb inbox so you can view and send messages to guests that contact you. Whenever you get a message, you will receive an email alert, and you can also sign up for text message notifications for alerts on the go. You can manage your notification settings for by going to your Dashboard > Account > Notifications.
