Cancelled booking - make available afterwords

[Geir-Inge0]

Unfortunatley did we have our appartment available for X-mas bookings, when we are going to be there ourself. I therefore had to cancel. However, we are not going to use the appartment the entire x-mas and would like to open for bookings on some of the days. Is that possible?

What to do?

Hello @Geir-Inge0 

If you cancelled a reservation then not only do you get fined, your calendar will also be blocked for the entire period that your guests had booked on Airbnb.  The only alternative to fill up those dates is to either go direct or via another platform.

Airbnb have toughened recently their host cancellation policy and if you want to read about it, just click on the link below:
