Welcome! How can we help?

When you book a space on Bizcnd, you’re making arrangements to access and use someone’s space. Each host has their own style of hospitality, starting with how they like to get to know their guests. Some hosts want to approve reservations, while others are comfortable letting you book their place instantly without waiting for approval.

1. Complete Your Profile

In either case, it’s important to know that Bizcnd is a community that relies on trust. Complete your profile before you request a reservation with a host, so they can know a little bit about you when they confirm. Your profile should include photos and verification, especially because some hosts require guests to have a profile photo or Verified ID in order to book.

2. Find the Right Place

When searching for a space, make sure to include your dates and number of guests to get the most accurate pricing. Read reviews, descriptions, house rules and amenities for each space to see if it’s the right fit for your requirements. You can always contact the host if you have any questions about their space.

3. Book It!

You’ve found the perfect place, and now it’s time to make it official. This is where the host’s preferred way of booking will determine how you’ll confirm your reservation.

Instant Book

For hosts who don’t want to approve each reservation, you’ll see a button on their listing that says Instant Book. Like the name suggests, you can confirm a reservation at these places right away.

Request to Book

Some hosts prefer to approve reservations before they’re final. In this case, you’ll see a button on their listing that says Request to Book. To submit a reservation request, you’ll need to enter your payment details. Hosts have 24 hours to accept your request, and your reservation is automatically confirmed once they do.

Pre-approvals and Special Offers

If you decide to contact the host to ask questions before attempting to book, the host may respond to your message by inviting you to make a reservation with either a pre-approval or Special Offer. A pre-approval is an invitation to complete a booking for the dates and number of guests you noted in your message. A Special Offer gives the host the opportunity to provide special pricing, dates and other reservation details before you book.
