Do guests get penalized for cancelling Airbnb?

If the guest cancels a reservation less than 24 hours before check-in, they will still need to pay for the first night's stay, plus the Airbnb service fee. If the guest decides to cancel his/her stay after arriving, he/she is eligible for a full refund for any remaining nights of the reservation.
