When you’ll get your refund

Good news – if you’re eligible for a refund, you’ll get it automatically within 10 days. Maybe even sooner.

We'll send your refund as soon as you cancel to the payment method you used when you booked the reservation, but your bank or credit card issuer may take longer to get it to you. It all depends on how you paid and where you live:

Note: If your original payment method’s account was closed, the refund sent by Airbnb won’t be processed. If this happens, we’ll contact you and you’ll have the option to update your payment method.
