I've made a reservation on Airbnb, but my plans have shifted, and I now require an early check-in. How can I request the host to accommodate this change?

Airbnb hosts may have other guests and restrictions, so be polite and respectful when requesting an early check-in. Explain your request, such as early travel or time-sensitive commitments. As hosts may not be able to accommodate early check-ins, flexibility is key. Offering to pay for convenience can work, especially for desirable properties.
• Request early check-in by following these steps:
• Go to your reservation and click "Contact host".
• Give a polite, respectful reason for needing an early check-in in your message.
• If the host cannot meet your request, be flexible.
• Offer to pay for early check-in if it requires additional host coordination or costs.
Not all hosts allow early check-ins, and they may charge. If the host cannot meet you in person, they will provide clear self-check-in instructions. Booking accommodations online can be time-consuming and confusing. Join Xolvie to find a solution and share travel tips with other travelers.
