I'm leaving on vacation for a few days where I will have no cell service. I have had these days blocked off in advance and I have no scheduled guests for these days. I wanted to set my status to away so that I won't get contacted by customers who will receive no response from me for days? However, It won't set my status to away because I have future bookings after I get back. If I am unavailable for the day can customers still contact me and will me not responding on days I am unavailable affect my response time score?

I was thinking about updating my profile with a message that I will be out of town for a few days and I will respond when I return. I'm not worried about people seeing this message and breaking into our house, we have excellent neighbors to keep an eye on our house and an alarm system. Any thoughts?
