Airbnb was created in August 2008.
It was founded by Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk in San Francisco, USA.
Airbnb invoices are generated directly by Airbnb, and hosts or third parties can’t issue them on their behalf. You can download your invoice by logging into your Airbnb account, going to Trips → Select the reservation → Payments → Get receipt/Invoice. Tools like 5go help automate responses to common guest questions like this on WhatsApp, ensuring guests get clear guidance instantly without manual follow-ups.
Yes, my Airbnb host has cancelled my reservation.
No — Airbnb itself doesn’t automatically include breakfast with its listings. Whether breakfast is provided depends on the individual host and the specific listing. Some hosts include breakfast or offer it as an add‑on, but most simply provide the space and amenities listed in the description
"Does this Airbnb provide breakfast as part of the amenities?"
Yes, sometimes Airbnb hosts may ask guests to cancel a reservation due to unexpected issues like maintenance problems, double bookings, or personal emergencies. In such cases, Airbnb usually waives penalties for the guest, and the platform may help find alternative accommodations.
To cancel an inquiry on Airbnb: Go to your Messages or the listing page. Find the inquiry you sent to the host. Click “Cancel” or “Withdraw Request”. This stops the host from responding to that booking request. No penalties apply since it’s just an inquiry, not a confirmed booking.
Yes, Airbnb can be a good option for business trips, offering flexible stays, more space, and amenities like Wi-Fi and kitchens. Many hosts also provide self check-in and automated communication (via tools like 5go.in), making business travel more convenient and hassle-free.
You usually receive the Airbnb address after your booking is confirmed and closer to your check-in date. Airbnb shares the exact location once the reservation is completed, and many hosts send full address and check-in details shortly before arrival. With tools like 5go, hosts can automatically send the address and check-in instructions to guests at the right time via WhatsApp, so everything is clear and hassle-free.
Yes! To submit a cancellation request on Airbnb: Open the Airbnb app or website and go to Trips. Select the reservation you want to cancel. Click “Cancel reservation”. Follow the prompts and choose your reason for cancellation. Review the cancellation policy (refunds depend on host rules). Confirm to submit the cancellation request. Airbnb will notify the host and process your refund according to the booking policy.
Yes, tipping for an Airbnb Experience is appreciated but optional. Most guests tip 10–20% of the experience cost if they enjoyed it, similar to tipping a tour guide. You can tip in cash or through the Airbnb app if the host allows it.
You cannot book most Airbnb listings without providing an ID. Airbnb requires identity verification to ensure safety for both guests and hosts. Some hosts may allow bookings without a verified ID, but this is rare and not recommended, as most listings will be unavailable until you complete the verification.
Airbnb may not let you book due to incomplete ID verification, payment issues, account restrictions, or host booking requirements (like minimum stay or instant-book rules). Sometimes it’s also due to previous cancellations, safety checks, or location/date restrictions. Check your account verification, payment method, and the listing’s booking rules to resolve it.
