Blocking someone on Airbnb is possible in certain situations, such as preventing a guest from booking or stopping messages from a specific user. Here’s how to do it:

1. Block Someone from Messaging You

If someone is harassing or bothering you:

  1. Go to Messages in your Airbnb account.
  2. Open the conversation with the person.
  3. Click the three-dot menu (•••) in the top-right corner.
  4. Select Report & Block and follow the prompts.

2. Block a Guest from Booking

While Airbnb doesn’t have a direct “block” button, you can prevent someone from booking by:

  • Declining their request if they try to book.
  • Setting reservation requirements (e.g., verified ID, positive reviews).
  • Using Instant Book settings to restrict who can book.

3. Report a Problematic Guest or Host

If someone is violating Airbnb’s policies:

  1. Go to their profile or listing page.
  2. Click Report and select a reason (e.g., harassment, fraud, policy violations).
  3. Airbnb will review your report and may take action.
