Main guest not coming. Can I transfer booking to other guest?

Main guest not coming. Can I transfer booking to other guest?

This happens quite frequently for some reason. I'll get a confirmed booking from a group of 4 or more and then the person who booked the reservation can't make it. In the past I've just communicated with another designate from the group via email or text outside the app. I've never had an issue but this makes me nervous. It there a way to transfer a reservation to another Airbnb account?

@Billy-and-Sevilla0 This is not possible yet.

@Billy-and-Sevilla0   Ask the other guest to set up an account and ask the original booker to cancel to free up the dates so the other guest can book in their own name. I have done it, it's rather labor intensive but it worked. Airbnb will not cover you if it's a third party booking and there are many more unforseen problems too.

But they won't get their Airbnb fees back...

@Billy-and-Sevilla0   Well, I managed to get Airbnb to refund the fees of the first booking, it was not a problem.
