Airbnb and justify of expenses

You will receive a billing receipt, after you pay, by email. You can print it yourself or view it online at any time.

The receipt includes the traveller's name, the dates of the stay, a reference number, a description and address of the place you stayed, the host's name and contact information, a breakdown of the charges, the total cost and the payment method.

I have claimed expenses back from several public sector organizations by using AirBnB receipts, but not the Greek government. I have not had any problems. But, I know that the Greek authorities can be meticulous to the point of exasperation in desiring very particular paperwork. If you haven't claimed from them before, I would advise you find out exactly what paperwork will satisfy them.

An invoice in English is a formal document requesting payment, issued before the payment is made. You will not receive an invoice, only a receipt proving you paid, after you pay.

You can access the receipt for each booking on your Airbnb profile:

To find your receipt:

1. Go to Your Trips on airbnb.com.

2. Next to the reservation you want to see the receipt for, click View Itinerary.

3. Under Billing click Detailed receipt. For receipts from past trips, click See Trip Details.

You can then click the print button on the invoice page to print it out. I have used these printed receipts several times as a proof of expenses for my employer without a problem. However, do contact whomever will receive the invoice before you book to check if they accept it.
