My host cancelled 4 days before with no explanation. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe there was a family emergency. But the customer service was HORRIBLE after that. I had to ask for a discount for the inconvenience. They offered a $69 to rebook, a 5% discount which is not an acceptable amount for the inconvenience this called. I was about to take off for an international flight so I rebooked a new place quickly that the customer service shared with me that they told me was the same area. I lost service on my flight and then the next day when I had service, I went to look at the Airbnb and realized it was not the location I wanted. In California, it says you have 24 hours to cancel as long as the booking was 72 hours before (which mine was). I was on the phone with Airbnb and they told me they had to look into the California laws I shared with them and they would call me back in 2 hours. Airbnb then told me I wouldn’t get a refund because it was 27 hours, which was outside of that policy. I tired to reach out the host of the new place and they told me they would only refund me if someone else booked. It was just over three days away and I do not expect someone to book it. The customer service was BEYOND horrible and I will never ever use Airbnb again. Please share this story as warning to not use Airbnb.
