SAN FRANCISCO - US home rental firm Airbnb said on Monday it was allocating US$250 million to help offset losses by hosts around the world whose guests have cancelled bookings in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

Airbnb had earlier announced that guests would receive a full refund for the cancellation of reservations made on or before March 14 for check-in between March 14 and April 14, which angered many hosts. Airbnb also said that hosts could cancel reservations without a charge. The company said in September that it planned to list its shares in 2020, and so far has not changed that position.
