How do I confirm my booking on Airbnb?

To check it, either find the message thread with the Host in your inbox, or go to Trips and click or tap Show more trip plans, then Show details. A Confirmed status means you're good to go! You'll receive an email saying so, along with a text (SMS) and a push notification if you have those set up.
