What is a security deposit for Airbnb bookings?

For Airbnb bookings, hosts cannot collect a security deposit directly. Instead, Airbnb manages potential damage claims through their Aircover policy. This means:

Guests are not required to pay a security deposit.
If damages occur, Airbnb allows the host to request reimbursement from the guest.

What do you Need to Know

You won’t be charged a security deposit, but you may still be held responsible for damages under Airbnb’s Aircover policy.

In Case of Damages

If you accidentally cause damage during your stay:

Inform Your Host: Reach out to your host to discuss the issue.
Resolution Centre: The host may request reimbursement through Holidu Host support.
Holidu’s Involvement: If needed, Holidu support will reach out to Airbnb, and then we will determine the most suitable solution for all parties involved.

Stay Worry-Free and Enjoy Your Trip!

Most stays go smoothly, and security deposits are rarely an issue. Just take care of the place like it’s your own, and you’ll have nothing to worry about. Happy travels!
