I requested a Google account with access to all my contacts, so I ended up quitting creating an account and booking the hotel directly. '

Also, in response to the question 'I don't know why you care about a robot with an account that has already entered credentials', 'You probably want to reduce scraping and unauthorized account access. If you scrape, Airbnb It may be possible to decipher the pricing algorithm and the mechanism of price fluctuations, and some people may try to create a fake account with fraudulently obtained authentication information.
