What happens if something goes wrong on my trip Airbnb?

Although there's less of a safety net if things go wrong, Airbnb does have a Guest Refund Policy. Specifically, if a property is misrepresented, dirty, unsafe or impossible to access, guests can often get rebooked or receive a refund.

Why is Airbnb restricting my booking?

Airbnb will use technology to block last-minute bookings of homes given risk factors, including information about the listing, reservation and guest. If a guest has no reviews and tries to book an entire home locally the day of their stay, they may be barred form doing so.

Is there a contract with Airbnb?
