Can A Host Cancel A Reservation At Any Time?

Hello,

 

I am new to Airbnb as a Host, and just wondering if a Host can cancel a reservation at any time? What are the guidelines?

Hello @Luke131 ,

You can cancel a reservation at any time prior to check-in date, but you will face penalties (unless extenuating cicrcumstances).

Cancelling during stay of the guest is rather unuseal, unless problems arise with the guest or with the accomodation. You probably then will contact Airbnb first about possiblities to resolve the problems.

Offcourse allways communicate with your guest about any upcoming cancelation.
