What does Checkpoint reservation status mean?
If you as a guest send a reservation request and you see Checkpoint status or from the host and you see dates blocked with Pending verification status this means the guest has sent a reservation request, but they do not have verified ID when either the host requires that, or verification was triggered by Airbnb risk scoring algorithm.
This situation can only be instantly resolved from the guest end. If no actions taken by the guest, the request will expire within 12-24 hours.
