Blocked dates but booking came through….I got fined
Anyone else blocked their calendar but bookings came through. I have done renting for years, I opened up a new space, blocked it on the phone App as house was not going to be ready for guests for a couple of weeks. I got a booking through in the blocked time and had to cancel them (within an hour) and Air BNB took $390 off my other listing’s payout and I haven’t even started to rent the new place !!. They not accept there was a glitch.
Get your money back. It takes time. Multiple layers of the "call center."
But this just happened to me as well.
What I was told is to turn instabook off. Which I did. But it is known that blocked dates can be booked with instabook on ... this glitch was acknowledged when I spoke with Airbnb.
