Can i change cancellation policy temporally?

[Toshie1]

I use "strict"cancellation policy. But i'd like to change it to free cancellation until this coronavirus mayhem calm down. Does anyone know how to change it periodically? Any advice would be appreciated!

Cancellation policy can be changed at anytime, but it will apply on a go forward basis for all new bookings.  So you might want to reduce your booking window as well.  Otherwise someone can book a year from now if your booking window is 12 months bases on a flexible policy.  Make sense?

Hi there @Linda108 and @Toshie1 . So if we change our policy from strict to moderate or flexible now, then it will definitely only apply to new bookings? Not the previously made bookings under the strict policy?

I have sent off a query to Airbnb about this but assume it will take a while to hear back from them.

@Blake159   yes, it will definitely only apply to new bookings.

Thank you @Linda108 @for response! I now can change it in confidence:)
