How to Get an Airbnb Refund for a Dirty Listing

Did you arrive at an Airbnb that was not properly cleaned? Here’s how to request a refund for a dirty property.

Step 1: Take Clear Photos

Airbnb requires proof for refunds. Take detailed photos of unclean areas (sheets, bathrooms, floors, etc.).

Step 2: Contact the Host Immediately

Send a polite but firm message explaining the cleanliness issue. If they don't respond within a few hours, escalate the request.

Step 3: Submit a Refund Request

Use our Refund Generator to craft a strong message. Include photos and a clear refund request.

Step 4: Escalate to Airbnb Support

If the host refuses to refund, escalate the case through Airbnb’s Resolution Center.
