India Short Stay lets you accept bookings two ways. Understanding the difference helps you balance convenience with control.
Request to Book
Guests send a dated request and you approve it. Every new listing starts here, so you can vet guests and confirm details before committing. Great for first-time hosts.
Instant Book
Eligible guests book and pay immediately via our secure checkout — no back-and-forth. It boosts conversions and search ranking, ideal once you are confident in your setup.
Switching modes
You can change the mode per listing from your owner dashboard at any time. Many hosts run popular listings on Instant Book and newer ones on Request.
