Can you transfer an Airbnb reservation to someone else

Thanks, Dave, I did contact Airbnb, and they said what you said about the third party issues. They did not say, however, that they would consider refunding their fees to my guest (unless his cancellation fell under their acceptable exceptions for cancelling). Nevertheless, I encouraged my guest to appeal to them, and meanwhile his friend has re-booked independently with me.

Wondering if you're allowed to book business trips for other people at your company? As long as you’re a verified member of the Airbnb community, you can create reservations on behalf of others. 

When you book a stay for someone else, you handle the reservation request, introductions, and payment—then transfer responsibility for the trip to the guest. Once a reservation is accepted, both you and the guest join the message thread with the Host so you both receive all trip communications.

If you’re building a reservation for a guest who hasn’t created an Airbnb profile, you can still checkout and pay. We’ll email the guest and guide them in both creating an Airbnb account and accepting your booking request. If you booked using a credit card, you may see a pre-authorization hold on your card while this process occurs. Once the reservation is confirmed, your payment method will be charged.

If you're a Host, booked by and booked for will be displayed with the names of the trip planner and your guest on the reservation.

transfer airbnb reservation to someone else? Forum Index » Travel Discussion Author Message 07/19/2021 21:34      Subject: transfer airbnb reservation to someone else? Anonymous Has anyone done this? Like, if you can't use your reservation for whatever reason, can you gift it to another family? 07/19/2021 22:09      Subject: transfer airbnb reservation to someone else? Anonymous Airbnb host here. No, you can't just send someone else to take your place in an Airbnb. You can try communicating with the host and asking if they would be open to the idea -- but they're going to want more information about the guests and you'll still be on the hook for any damages. 07/22/2021 23:49      Subject: Re:transfer airbnb reservation to someone else? Anonymous Yes, it's up to the host. We canceled a trip due to Covid-19. We were going to visit family that lived near a beach town, and we rented a house near the beach. When we were not going to be able to make the trip, I asked the host if our local family could use the house for a trip to the beach and the host was amenable. I had to stay on the reservation and facilitate the communication with the host, but they were willing to let our family member stay in our stead. After I helped with check-in, the host exchanged cell phone numbers with my SIL and they were able to communicate for the stay. I also helped the communication for check-out (the things that needed to go through the air-BnB system). A little bit of a hassle, but it was worth it not to have to cancel the reservation. But it is entirely dependent on how amenable the host is.   Forum Index » Travel Discussion   Quick Reply Go to:
