Airbnb recently introduced a "Reserve Now, Pay Later" policy.
For guests, it means flexibility. They can book without paying upfront and cancel up to just days before arrival without penalty.
But for property managers, it means greater uncertainty. A canceled booking just days out can lead to lost revenue, unfilled nights, and added pressure on already stretched teams.
In this episode, Dennis Schaal of Skift shares what this policy signals about Airbnb’s direction and what it means for the professionals behind every reservation.
