    Can I message a host without booking a reservation?

    Yes. You can message a host on Airbnb to ask them questions about their availability, their listing(s), and your specific needs.

    To message a host without making a reservation:

    1. On airbnb.com, go to the listing for the host you want to contact.
    2. Click Contact Host on the listing page.
    3. Enter the dates and number of guests for your trip. You can adjust this information before booking.
    4. Write your message and click Send Message.

    Make sure to review the listing page before reaching out to clarify anything you need from the host.

    For your safety and privacy, we don't share you or your host's email or phone number before you have a confirmed reservation.
