Let’s say you contact a Host about their place before requesting to book it. The Host can then invite you to book in two ways:
Invitation to book: Allows you to book for the dates and prices shown when you contacted the Host.
Special offer: Host chooses a custom price (or other details) and invites you to book with the new details. You’ll have 24 hours to accept the special offer.
Review the details of your pre-approval or special offer and click or tap Book now
Next, click Reserve and review your payment info
Click or tap Confirm and pay
Note: The special offer will be for the nightly rate, cleaning fees and any extra guest fees, but it doesn’t include taxes, the service fee or the security deposit (only certain Hosts can charge a security deposit). You will get a detailed breakdown of the price before you finalise the booking.

When you have a confirmed reservation, your Host's phone number will be in the message thread for your trip. You can send them a message or open the Airbnb app and call them.
If you don't see the option to send a Special Offer, check that the dates on your calendar aren't blocked or that you don't have any pending reservation requests for the same dates.
Britannica Dictionary definition of SPECIAL OFFER. [count] : a product that is being sold for less than its usual price or the act of selling something for less than the usual price. Shoppers will be able to take advantage of special offers after the holidays.
So, you've got some dates in mind and you found a place you're interested in. You message the Host and they reply with an invitation to book. Great news—this means that the place is available and the Host wants to seal the deal.
You do have to be logged in to your Airbnb account to read or send messages. Getting in touch with a Host starts a message thread you can go back to, and once you've taken that first step, your Messages help you keep all your communication organized for all your trips.
Hosts have 24 hours to accept or decline your request, but the vast majority reply within 12 hours. Chances are, it'll be even quicker: More than half of all trip requests are accepted within one hour of the Host reading it.
The Airbnb Community Center is a vibrant and supportive environment for all property owners and hosts, offering an array of resources to help you maximize your hosting experience.
