Cancellation fee

[Mindy25]

Hi does anyone know how to cancel a reservation without the renter getting charged a fee by Airbnb ?

Hi @Mindy25 

if it was instant booking:

Otherwise your best bet is to ball Airbnb.

Good luck to you!

@Mindy25  The guest can get refunded the Airbnb fee if they cancel within 48 hours of booking- this is made quite clear to the guests. It's on them to cancel in time if they wish a full refund. Why encourage guests to cancel willy nilly and expect a full refund?
