Refund your guest
It can happen to the best of Hosts: The wifi is a no-show, or the hot tub isn't hot. If something gets in the way of your guest's good time, you can send them a refund (minus the service fee) during or after their stay. We'll notify them right away, and process the refund within 48 hours.
