Airbnb Resolution Centre – How To Send Or Request Money on Airbnb

Airbnb Hosting A woman demonstrating Airbnb Hosting by making a peace sign with the words Airbnb Resolution Centre.

The Airbnb Resolution Centre lets you request or send money for matters related to an Airbnb trip. 

  • If it’s a general claim and not related to the Airbnb security deposit, you have to raise it within 60 days of the reservation checkout date. This is for claims under the Host Protection Scheme to compensate hosts for significant damage involved in hosting.
  • For security deposit claims, you have 14 days from the checkout date or before the next guest checks in, whichever is earlier. This is for minor damage done up to the amount of any security deposit that the host has set.

    Airbnb does not keep the security deposit from the guest on booking; they place a hold on the guest’s card, which is released once a hosting has been finalised without incident.

To involve Airbnb:

Best practices for raising a claim as a HOST

  • In case of a damage claim, allow the guest to explain the situation before you raise a claim.
  • Try to negotiate with guests before you get Airbnb involved.
  • If you are raising a damage claim, raise it as soon as you know a claim has to be raised.
    • Step 1: Send photos or other proofs of the damage to the guest and ask them to clarify
    • Step 2: Raise a claim in the Airbnb resolution centre
    • Step 3: Be upfront, get in touch with Airbnb and explain the situation.
  • As things progress, provide precise details of the damage. Include as many photos and video supported by receipts, invoices, estimates, or links to comparable items denoting actual value for the repair or replacement. 
  • Do not make up a replacement/repair amount yourself.
  • Consider increasing the security deposit on the listing but keep in mind if you raise it too high it may put off people booking your place.

Best practices for raising a claim as a GUEST

  • Try to negotiate with the host without getting Airbnb involved.
  • Keep a good track record on Airbnb, things go wrong all the time in homes, be kind to your hosts.
  • Prepare a detailed explanation on why the damage was not done by you or is not your responsibility. 
  • Provide Airbnb with inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and irresponsibility on the part of the host.
