Beware of when you enable instant booking on. I received a guest with 3.3 rating and bad reviews booked our listing successfully... I think Airbnb silently turned off the good guest rating option for instant booking.
More context: I asked why the guest can book with 3.3 rating, the support gave below answer

Thank you for the confirmation, Regarding the booking you received was it was due to guest having a review rating for 3.5 which qualified for your listing based on the settings. If you do not feel comfortable we can go ahead and cancel if you give us the permission for a full refund.
