I'm actually asking this as a guest, but these boards seem to be geared towards hosting and hosts, (I'm also a host) , but anyway...
I've been doing a lot of long term traveling, staying about one month at each Airbnb listing.
I have noticed the cancellation policies are often: "Full refund, minus the service fee and the first 30 days."
I interpret this basically as, "No refund."
If I stay a month, and the refund is "full" minus the first 30 days (a month), that basically means any booking less than a month there would be no refund in case of the need to cancel. Am I interpreting this correctly?
To kick you when you are down, even the service fee would not be refunded. This seems very strict. That's a lot to forfeit in case something happens. And they could still get new bookings if I were to cancel. Thanks for any enlightenment on this.
