I am participating in the Modified Strict cancellation policy beta. “Modified Strict” is a proposed cancellation policy similar to Strict, except the 50% refund window is much shorter - guests have up to 1 month before check-in to cancel with a full refund. After that it is a 50% refund up until 7 days before.
Airbnb has indicated that as a participant in this beta, half of my potential guests will be offered Modified Strict, and the other half will be offered Strict.
Since signing up, I have had 5 bookings, and they *all* have the Modified Strict policy set. Makes me wonder if it’s really half-and-half, or alternatively, if I would have gotten any bookings at all lately without that policy.
Anyone else participating in this beta? Please share your thoughts and experiences.
