Add Request to Book for Booking.com
Right now only instant book is available. PMs would like to use a booking request flow instead.

Great news! You can now set Request to Book for Booking.com!
Currently, this option is limited to:
- New properties on Booking.com (i.e., listings that are newly introduced and meet Booking.com’s eligibility requirements). Existing listings already set up with Instant Booking cannot be switched to RTB.
- Specific property types where guests rent the entire place, including: Holiday homes, Apartments, Villas.
- If you are using master - subunits, or multi-unit listing, the option to set "Booking Request" is only visible in the top-level property (e.g. master unit). Still, all the child listings will inherit the same booking setting as that of your top-level property.

Currently we can limit the instant booking per property for AirBNB, VRBO and direct bookings. I'd love it if we could add this to Booking.com (BDC) to prevent last minute reservations. We have been having a lot of policy/payment issues with BDC that come in the middle of the night. I would use BDC if we could limit the last minute instant guests who have issues.
