Can i do a cancellation without effecting me?

[Jurida0]

Hello everyone, I'm complete new on Airbnb and I was setting up my account downloading photos and exploring the App. I didn't realize the instant book was on and someone booked for Christmas period with very cheap price and booking automatically confirmed.  Please i need advice what to do, if i cancel it do i have to pay penalties, or effecting my host account?

@Jurida0 you can cancel 3 IB bookings penalty free but you will have to say you are uncomfortable with the booking. If it is VERY cheap this may be worthwhile - if its a bit cheap chalk it up to experience.

Hi @Jurida0 ! Welcome to Airbnb and to the Community Center. 😃

Like @Mike-And-Jane0 mentioned, you can cancel up to 3 Instant Booking reservations per year penalty-free as long as they are cancelled for valid reasons. You can find more info about that here: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2022
