Our payment system is secure, reliable, and convenient. We collect guest payments up front and in full when you accept a reservation request. By keeping your communication and transactions on Airbnb, you are upholding our terms of use and can rest assured that you will receive the proper payout for each and every reservation. We also uphold your cancellation policy from the moment the booking is accepted until the end of the reservation.
One of Airbnb’s main attractions for guests is that we do not release a payout to you until 24 hours after the check-in date, which differs from other websites. For guests this means they can be confident their money is safe and secure until they are warm and snug at your listing. For you it means more reservations since travelers flock to the site for our secure payment system, plus you get the added security of 24/7 assistance from our friendly Airbnb Support team.
