Where to find your Airbnb receipt

Your Airbnb receipt is in your account under Trips, then Messages, or in your email inbox — Airbnb sends it automatically after checkout. The receipt shows what you paid, the dates of your stay, the property address, and the host's name. You do not need to request it; it arrives on its own.

If you do not see it in your inbox, check your spam or promotions folder. Airbnb sends receipts from an address like receipts@airbnb.com or noreply@airbnb.com, so search for those if a general search does not turn it up.

The easiest way to locate a past receipt is to open the Airbnb app or website, go to your account menu, select Trips, find the reservation you need, and tap or click on it. The receipt details appear on that page, and you can usually take a screenshot or print directly from there.

Key Takeaways

  • Airbnb sends a receipt automatically to your email after you complete a booking, so you do not have to ask for one.
  • You can view any past receipt by opening your Trips section in your account and clicking on the specific reservation.
  • If you cannot find the email, check your spam folder or search for messages from receipts@airbnb.com.
  • The receipt includes the total amount paid, dates, property address, and host information for tax or reimbursement purposes.

How to read or print your receipt

Once you locate your receipt in the Trips section, look for a read or print button — the exact label depends on whether you are using the app or the website. On the website, this button usually appears near the top or bottom of the reservation details page. On the app, you may see a share icon or menu button (three dots) that includes a print or save option.

If you do not see a read button, you can take a screenshot of the receipt details and save it as an image. On most devices, this works just as well for personal records or to send to an accountant or employer.

What information appears on your receipt

Your Airbnb receipt includes the booking confirmation number, the property name and full address, your check-in and check-out dates, the number of nights, the nightly rate, any service fees Airbnb charged, taxes, and the total amount you paid. It also shows the host's name and the date the receipt was issued.

This is the document you need if you are claiming the stay as a business expense, seeking reimbursement from an employer or travel companion, or filing taxes. Keep it with your other financial records for at least three years.

Receipts for cancelled or modified bookings

If you cancelled your booking, Airbnb still sends a receipt showing the original charge and any refund you received. The receipt will note the cancellation and the refund amount. This receipt is important for your records because it shows the transaction was reversed.

If you modified your booking — for example, extending your stay or changing dates — Airbnb may issue a new receipt reflecting the updated total. Check your email for a second receipt with a different confirmation number. Both receipts together show the full financial picture of your reservation.

If you never received a receipt email

Check your email account's spam, promotions, or other filtered folders first. Airbnb receipts sometimes land there by mistake. If you still cannot find it, log into your Airbnb account and navigate to the reservation in your Trips section — the receipt details are always stored there, whether or not the email arrived.

If the reservation does not appear in your Trips section at all, it may have been booked under a different email address or account. Try logging out and checking whether you have another Airbnb account, or ask the person who made the booking to share their receipt with you.

Using your receipt for taxes or reimbursement

Your Airbnb receipt serves as proof of payment and is usually sufficient for tax purposes or to request reimbursement from an employer or business partner. If you need additional documentation — such as proof that the stay was for business rather than personal use — you may need to provide context separately, but the receipt itself is the official record from Airbnb.

For business travel, keep the receipt along with notes about the purpose of the trip. For tax deductions, consult a tax professional about whether your stay qualifies, but the receipt is the document you will need to show them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a receipt for a stay that happened months ago?

Yes. Go to your Trips section, find the old reservation, and the receipt details are still there. Airbnb keeps your booking history indefinitely, so you can retrieve a receipt from years ago if needed.

What if the receipt shows the wrong amount?

Double-check that you are looking at the final total, not just the nightly rate. If the total is genuinely incorrect, contact Airbnb support through the app or website and describe the discrepancy. They can review the charge and issue a corrected receipt if there was an error.

Can I get a receipt if someone else booked the reservation for me?

You can view the receipt if you have access to the Airbnb account that made the booking. If the reservation was under someone else's account, ask them to send you a screenshot or read of their receipt. Airbnb does not issue receipts to people who were not the account holder.

Is the email receipt the same as the one in my account?

Yes, they contain the same information. The email is a copy for your convenience, but the official record lives in your Trips section. If you lose the email, you can always pull up the receipt from your account.
