What is Instant Booking?
Instant Booking lets you secure a property immediately without waiting for host approval. If the host has enabled this option, your reservation is confirmed instantly.

Request Reservation allows you to send a booking request to the host. The host can review your dates and details before approving or declining your stay.
Can hosts enable or disable booking options?

Are there any fees for guests or hosts?

How does Olivebnb make money if there are no fees?
We generate revenue through listing claim fees for existing properties and optional subscription plans for hosts who want to list and manage their accommodations.
How do hosts get paid?
Hosts can request a payout via bank transfer or PayPal. Instant payouts are available if the host has enabled the instant payment option in their dashboard.
How long do payouts take?
Bank transfers may take 1–3 business days depending on your country and bank. PayPal transfers typically arrive within minutes.
Can I communicate with guests or hosts?
