In reply to James above, the same thing happened to me except we could not get refunded even though our reservation fit under the extenuating circumstances policy. I canceled on March 25th and their policy updated on March 30th. I have spoke to NUMEROUS people at Airbnb only to be told that we do not fit within the extenuating circumstances policy because I canceled 5 days beforehand. Even for the people who do fit in this category are not seeing their money because it still has to be accepted by the host. Airbnb is a scam company and is taking advantage of people during a global pandemic.

I am literally dealing with the same thing! had a trip planned to go to Bali, our host, of course, denied us our refund and we were supposed to check in on May 16th to the comment above we were covered under their policy but still denying us to claim a refund even though the country we are traveling to is no longer issuing visas! I want to make a thread and have people join experiencing this problem so we can all get our money back that we are entitled to.

I’m dealing with the same exact situation, unfortunately. We are under a ‘stay-at-home’, no one goes out unless for essentials order in the state of FL (like everywhere else in the US) and I was told it’s up to my Airbnb host if she wants to give me a full refund. Makes absolutely no sense! I didn’t make the decision to cancel my trip or cancel the Airbnb, I’m literally not allowed to go to Miami per our governor.. this is a complete joke to deal with.

Good luck getting your refund.
Airbnb is a scam!

You booked a property with strict cancellation policy and you agreed to forfeit half of your money if you cancel unless you qualify for extenuating circumstances. This is not a host from hell. The host is sticking to her cancellation policy and that is her right until Airbnb overrides it with their extenuating circumstance policy.

Note that Airbnb extended the COVID-19 extenuating circumstances policy to May 31, so your reservation now qualifies.
