How to alter a reservation (2024)

FAQs

Is it possible to modify an Airbnb reservation? ›

Past reservations can't be changed, but to edit a confirmed or active one, send your guest a trip change request proposing your new dates, price, or number of guests. You can even suggest they stay in a different place, if you have more than one.

Submit a change request in Trips—if your Host accepts, your reservation will be updated and you'll be charged or refunded as necessary.

The Host will have to accept any changes submitted. If your Host doesn't accept, try sending them a message reminding them to review your alteration request. Once you send the request, the Host will receive a notification to approve or decline your request.

Sometimes, guests need a little flexibility. If they want to alter a confirmed reservation (ex: add or subtract nights, or choose different dates), they should send you a trip change request. Please don't change or cancel reservations on behalf of guests—you might jeopardize your good standing as a Host.

When you can cancel or withdraw a request. First, check the status of your request. If the Host has already accepted it, then it's subject to their cancellation policy. If it's still pending, you can cancel, and you won't be charged for the reservation or the service fees.

1. “I apologize for any inconvenience, but unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate that request.” 2. “I understand your need, but I'm afraid that is not possible at the moment.”

Check out these safety tips to help you get to know potential guests, set up your place for success, and protect yourself. Declining an individual trip request won't negatively impact your listing's placement. However, your search result placement may be impacted if you frequently decline requests.

There are no penalties for declining, but if you're a Host, there are a few issues to consider when responding to a trip change request from a guest. Did this article help?
