You are the host and must provide to the guest what is paid for. If for some technical reason it is not possible to do so, the there are two options: call Airbnb and ask them to cancel withourt penalties (and maybealso they can relocate the guest). Or cancel yourself and make a claim for "extenuating circumstances":
