How long until airbnb sends a partial refund to guests who have already stayed and left?

[Akaash-and-Bethany0]

Hi, we would like to send a partial refund to guests who recently stayed in our apartment. I see this can be done through the Resolution Centre, however, it says "we will deduct the refund amount from your next booking and send the money to the guest." The next time we are offering our apartment on airbnb is not until August. Does that mean that our previous guests will not be refunded until August? How can we make sure that they are refunded sooner?

Your guest will be refunded much faster than that - about 5 days. And, if you get an earlier booking than August you will find the amound is debited from that booking instead.
