Things happen, and a Host may need to cancel a reservation. But a guest shouldn’t cancel on behalf of their Host.
What to do if your Host asks you to cancel
If your Host lets you know that they can't accommodate your stay anymore, don't cancel for them. Instead, send them a message asking them to cancel. That way, you'll be eligible to receive a full refund.
