How to Find a Lost Airbnb Receipt
Misplaced your Airbnb receipt? Before you give up, there are a few quick places to look — and if the original is gone for good, you can recreate one for your records.
Where to look first
- 1Check your email — Airbnb and many retailers send a digital receipt or order confirmation at checkout.
- 2Go to Trips → select the stay → receipts and VAT invoices are downloadable per reservation, indefinitely.
- 3Review your bank or credit-card statement to confirm the date, location and exact amount of the purchase.
- 4Contact Airbnb customer service with your payment card, the store or location, and the approximate date — they can sometimes look up or reprint a receipt.
Good to know about Airbnb receipts
Airbnb issues both a payment receipt and (where applicable) a VAT invoice — business travelers usually need the second, hidden under the reservation details.
Can't find your Airbnb receipt? Recreate it
If the original is unrecoverable, you can recreate a Airbnb receipt that matches the items, prices, date and store details of your real purchase — handy for an expense report, reimbursement or your own bookkeeping. Open the free Airbnb receipt builder, fill in the details, and download it as a PDF or PNG.
Use it responsibly
Only recreate a receipt for a purchase that actually happened and for legitimate purposes such as personal records, reimbursement of real expenses, or replacing a lost copy. Creating a receipt to mislead a person, employer, retailer or tax authority is illegal.

- Can I get a copy of an old Airbnb receipt?
- Often yes. Go to Trips → select the stay → receipts and VAT invoices are downloadable per reservation, indefinitely. For older purchases, Airbnb customer service may be able to look up the transaction with the card you paid with and the approximate date — the more precisely you can pin down the store, day and amount, the better the odds of a successful lookup.
- Does Airbnb keep receipts on file?
- It varies. Purchases made through a Airbnb app, loyalty program or online account are usually stored in your order history. Airbnb issues both a payment receipt and (where applicable) a VAT invoice — business travelers usually need the second, hidden under the reservation details. In-store cash purchases with no loyalty scan are the hardest to retrieve, which is when recreating a receipt for your records is most useful.
