Airbnb Billing Dispute: What to Do
First determine whether the amount is a temporary authorization, an Airbnb reservation charge, or a hotel or host charge. If you already opened a chargeback, Airbnb says the bank controls that dispute and its status; otherwise keep the issue in Airbnb messages or the Resolution Center so the reservation record and payment stay connected.

Airbnb billing dispute steps
Use Airbnb duplicate charge guidance for this Airbnb billing dispute workflow, and save the resulting confirmation or case reference.
Match the amount to the reservation
Compare the statement date and amount with the Airbnb receipt and price breakdown.
Check for an authorization hold
A declined or expired reservation can leave a temporary authorization that the bank releases rather than an Airbnb refund.
Identify who posted the charge
Separate Airbnb Payments from a disclosed hotel incidental, property fee, or host request in the Resolution Center.
Use only one active dispute route
If a chargeback is open, follow it with the bank; otherwise submit the reservation-linked evidence to Airbnb.
Choose the correct Airbnb path
For Airbnb, the purchase channel, account type, or event determines which billing dispute path applies.
Authorization still pending
Ask the bank for the release status before treating it as a settled duplicate charge.
Airbnb charged twice
Use both statement lines and the single reservation receipt to show the mismatch.
Hotel or host charge
Check whether the fee or incidental was disclosed in the Airbnb price breakdown.
Bank chargeback filed
The bank supplies updates and decides the payment dispute while it is open.
