Need to send or request money for things related to your home stay, service, or experience? No problem! Go to the Resolution Center to open a refund or payment request.
You may need to add a payment method before sending or requesting money through the Resolution Center.

Refunds
Optional fees
For example:
Security deposits
Reservation alteration
You can’t use the Resolution Center to collect payment for additional costs or provide refunds for modifications to nights, guest count, or pet count. You must use Change reservation for reservation alterations.
Mandatory fees and security deposits
All mandatory fees must be disclosed in the appropriate fee field or in the nightly price if there is no applicable fee field. Including these fees in the listing description at the time of booking is insufficient. Limited exceptions exist:
In locations where Airbnb does not collect taxes or where hosts are legally required to collect them directly from guests, hosts must disclose taxes in the listing description.
Hotel stays
The Resolution Center may not be available for use with some hotel stays. Hotels may also collect payment off of the Airbnb platform for optional fees (ex: parking) where it is in the course of normal business practices.
If a host or guest requests money for extra services or a refund, you’ll find their request in your email associated with your Airbnb account or in the Resolution Center.
Every now and then, hosts and guests aren’t able to make it work. If you haven’t come to an agreement, you’ll see the option to ask Airbnb to help you mediate.
Issues must be reported to Airbnb within 72 hours of discovery to be eligible under our rebooking and refund policy for homes or our refund policy for services and experiences. From there, a dedicated team member will review the info provided by everyone and ask questions (if necessary) before making a final decision.
Sometimes accidents happen, which is why there’s AirCover for Hosts.
AirCover for Hosts is top-to-bottom protection for hosts. It includes $3 million in Host damage protection, in addition to $1 million liability insurance, guest identity verification, reservation screening and a 24-hour safety line. It’s always included and always free whenever you host.
If a guest causes damage to your place or belongings during an Airbnb stay, you can file a reimbursement request through our Resolution Centre. You’re reimbursed for certain damage caused by guests to your home and belongings if the guest does not pay for the damage. Learn about the process.
Host damage protection isn’t an insurance policy. Host damage protection and Experiences & Services liability insurance don’t cover Hosts who offer stays through Airbnb Travel, LLC or Hosts who offer Stays or Experiences in Japan – where Japan Host Insurance and Japan Experience Protection Insurance apply. For listings in Washington state, Airbnb’s contractual obligations under Host damage protection are covered by an insurance policy purchased by Airbnb. For hosts whose country of residence or establishment is outside of Australia, these Host Damage Protection Terms apply. For Hosts whose country of residence or establishment is within Australia, Host damage protection is subject to the Host Damage Protection Terms for Australian Users. Keep in mind that all coverage limits are shown in USD.
