Cancel booking with Airbnb - detailed cancellation policy
- Flexible: With this condition, all amounts (minus a service fee) will be reimbursed up to one day before the start of the trip. To do this, you simply have to cancel your booking under "Dashboard"> "Your trips"> "Change or cancel". In order for all the money to be refunded, you must cancel the booking exactly 24 hours before check-in.
- Moderate: The full amount will only be refunded if you canceled the booking five days before check-in. If no check-in time has been set, 3 p.m. is the time guideline.
- Strict: This condition is the toughest. 50% will be refunded if you cancel the booking one week before check-in.
- Please note that a small service fee of 6 to 12% will be charged on Airbnb's total amount if canceled (no refund).
- These conditions are designed to protect hosts and guests alike. If there are any problems with your booking or cancellation, simply contact your host for further assistance.
