If visitors cannot request a slot

Both switches must be on and saved, and your listing must be live. Check Hireable hours, existing bookings and the room’s setup/cleanup gaps.

Under Settings → Requests, Book no later than controls minimum notice. Requests inside that window arrive as plain enquiries. Hold a requested slot for controls how long a new request reserves the room. Settings save automatically; wait for Saved.

If slot requests are off, visitors can still send a general enquiry where available, but it does not hold a time in your diary.

Stop sharing

Turn off Show free and busy to hirers and save. This also removes free and busy times from your website calendar; its enquiry button can remain. It does not delete your private diary. The request switch keeps its saved choice, so check both switches if you turn sharing back on.
