If a guest makes you uncomfortable

Remember: In an emergency situation, or if your personal safety is threatened, contact local police or emergency services immediately.

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.

Before you accept a trip request

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.

After you have confirmed a reservation

If you’ve already confirmed the reservation, you can cancel it.

Find out if your situation will allow you to cancel without fees or other consequences, 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 the fees and other consequences for cancelling a guest’s reservation. 

Flagging inappropriate messages
