COVID-19 IS WIDESPREAD, NOW CANCELLATION VIA AIRBNB IS FREE OF CHARGE

YOUR vacation plan failed because of the corona virus case? Even though you have already booked accommodation through Airbnb? Dont worry! Airbnb extends its cancellation policy at no charge, as the corona virus spreads more massively.

Citing Bloomberg, Airbnb does not charge fees for canceling lodging bookings that have occurred through the platform. But it should be noted, this policy applies to lodging bookings in mainland China, South Korea, Italy and the United States.

This policy also applies to innkeepers or hosts as well as guests who need to cancel bookings to comply with local regulations or where guests are from. For example, Italy imposed lockdowns in several regions.

Cancellation can also be done if the host or guest has to undergo a medical examination related to corona virus. Cancellation of Airbnb bookings can also be canceled if transportation or flights are canceled due to the distribution of corona.

In addition, if a guest or host is tested positive for corona or is still suspected of having contracted corona, bookings can be canceled. [antaranews/photo special]
