Hello @John2654 , I too agree with this being somewhat unfair. I have lost 6 reservations, with all explicit written reasons due to covid-19.
If we consider that, as @Susan1188 pointed, cancellation policy is the issue, the topic here is distant from a common sense. The reason for a compensation as I understand, is to keep the ABB community of hosts and guests able to keep themselves hosting and travelling -and promoting this platform.
This has nothing to do with whether hosts facilitate or not the guests with the possibility of having a full or partial refund.
Once again, the reason here is a world health crisis, and in my view, this should be the crucial point for ABB to distribute the support they're offering.
Maybe this % of compensation could be more well thought as to compensate as many people of the community due to the main reason why this is happening, and not due to a Superhost status or strict cancellation policy (which can be very frustrating for many guests, and I have been an active guest and user of ABB to say this with reasoning).
@Bob40 and @Simon2566 pointed different issues that we should be aware and most of all, consider the cancellation reasons above the cancellation policy or host status.
Remember, the community is made of people, and despite policies or status, the airbnb fee is collected from all guests and hosts, no matter status or policies.
It would be fair to have a more human than algorithmic reasoning in this.
