Contact Airbnb: A Community Help Guide

-----------------Update June 5th 2017--------------------

An updated version of this Community Guide is now available, click here to view

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

This, I believe, is the most common question on the Community Center.  Below is a "How To" guide on contacting Airbnb via Twitter and/or by calling their Customer Support Line.

 

Here are 3 easy ways to contact Airbnb:

  1. Airbnb Community Experts
  2. Via Twitter Direct Message @Airbnbhelp
  3. Calling Airbnb

1. Contacting Airbnb's Community Experts

 The easiest and quickest way to get answers to any issues is through contacting Airbnb's Community Experts.  If they cannot answer your question, they have the ability to re-route you to Airbnb

 

Step 1: Visit https://www.airbnb.ca/help/contact_us

Step 2: From the bottom of the screen, choose either "My question is about something else" or "I have a different issue"

Step 3: Follow the prompts to figure out what best describes your issues.  Some things you choose will take you to specific information whereas others you can fill in the text box and submit your question.  

 

When you submit a question, you can expect an answer back from a Community Expert within five minutes but usually less.  If the Community Expert cannot help you, they can re-route your issue to Airbnb who will then contact you.  Airbnb Community Experts do not have access to your account information so if it is a question that can only be answered with account information, they will re-route you automatically.  Airbnb Community Experts are available 24/7 and again, usually you will have an answer from them within minutes.

 

2. Contacting Airbnb Via Twitter

I find the second best and easiest way to contact Airbnb regarding any issues I may be having is by using Twitter.  Airbnb seems to have dedicated staff who monitor their Twitter feeds and I usually hear back from them within 5-10 minutes of posting my isssue.

 

Step 1: Log into Twitter

Step 2: Search for @Airbnbhelp and choose "Follow" them

Step 3: Send a Direct Message (DM) explaining your issue and wait for their response.  They may ask for information such as your listing but always provide it over DM so it is not public.

 

3. Calling Airbnb's Customer Experience Line

 ***Please note that these phone numbers and any numbers below are meant for URGENT MATTERS so it is best to use the above two methods first***

 

Here are the phone numbers for Airbnb.  If the area where you are hosting is not listed, check out the two ways below this list in order to find their number for your area.

I am wondering if you can help.  Have just given Airbnd over 28days notice cancellation fee.  They are charging me very high admin fees.  Cannot get in touch.  Emails bounce back.

 

Thank you for your help if you can advise me how to get in touch in person rather than through their 'phantom' Help Centre

 

Geraldine

Geraldine, call 1 855 424-7262.  This has worked for me several times.  I've also successfully used the email trust@airbnb.com with success.  I hope you can work out your problem with them soon.  Pat

Thank you for doing this, its a great guide to have.

Thank you so much for this...I couldn't believe how difficult this was.

The fact that you have written the tricks or secrets for hosts to get in touch with Airbnb

is proof that something is very wrong

 

A host should not need to know tricks or secrets for how to get in touch with Airbnb

 

In the headers for hosts after logging in there should be a button for contact Airbnb and clicking on it should give all the information.

 

Basically Airbnb does not want to be contacted....they prefer that people post message on a forum....since it costs Airbnb nothing in paying staff.

 

Change is needed.

I join the "community of disapointment" about Airbnb support service. When I want to contact Airbnb, but not urgent, it is written: "Please reach out to us via email if possible", but where is and which is that email address, hidden somewhere?

 

After going to difference menu options of help choice, I reach to one section which seems to be the right one, I enter all information, but at the end, instead of sending a message, it shows a "Chat with us" button. It opens a chat window, then it says Now you are chatting with William, then after a few seconds, it shows "chat ended". I retry, same problem, it looks like that it ends manually, as the 2nd and 3rd time ended quicker than the 1st one. So no way to send this question!

 

Anyone knows what is the email of Airbnb Help line?

 

 

I've had good luck with trust@airbnb.com

This is just fantastic ! Thank you so much for posting this. It should be the top post everywhere since this is the most asked question.

Huge weight off my shoulders. Feels more professional with this help line.

Hello,

Please help. I had to cancel a reservation for my guests due to my personal extenuating circumstances.

Now I can see that I will be charged a cancellation penalty for that. I am unable to find here how to contact airbnb.

Please somebody direct me how to contact them to provide documents and to request the penalty to be waived?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Elina

Hi Elina

 

I came across this article a few weeks ago - it describes different ways on how to make contact with Airbnb

 

Hope it works for you
