What happens to my payout if I cancel my guest’s reservation?

Before the trip starts

If you cancel a reservation before the trip starts, your guest will be refunded in full, and you won’t receive a payout for that booking.

After check-in

If you cancel after the trip has started, we’ll deduct the refund amount from your next payout (or payouts until the full amount is collected). You'll see this reflected as adjustment on your transaction history.

Host cancellation penalties

Cancellations disrupt guests' plans and impact confidence in the Airbnb community. Because of this, certain host cancellation penalties will also apply.
