If a guest makes you uncomfortable - Airbnb Help Center (2024)

You set the rules for your place—it’s as simple as that. If you have a guest who has broken a house rule or done something to make you feel unsafe, you don’t have to take their reservation.

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.

If you’ve already confirmed the reservation, you cancancel it.

Find out if your situation will allow you to cancel penalty-free, such as if you’ve learned your guest is planning an unauthorized party, or if they're bringing their pooches when your listing specifically said no pets.

Here’s everything you need to know about cancellation penalties.
