Host banned

Host banned

My partner and I just got banned 12 properties. 10 yes ion site  hundreds of positive reviews.  Most houses around 4.9      I think someone accused me of racism  after they destroyed a house but not sure as never did get an answer.  They just sent me policy   This was in the middle of two houses being trashed and me undergoing cheno therapy.    Ironic part I’m gay minority with two lawsuits fighting inequalities in the health care system.   It’s sad as I gave so much over the years promoting their brand .and reality is when things ever turned bad air bnb never helped anyways.    Not much.you can do their platform but sure feel betrayed    Especially if it is about false allegations of inequality.  The majority of my guest minorities and have friends still from all over the world so that they can not take away.    This experience shook me so much that I gave houses to property manager which I never thought about as loved meeting new people.  The positive out weighed the bad experiences till this happened .  I never thought cancel culture was real thing and your past  character on air bnb means nothing      I did put up flyers in my house to why we no longer on air bnb relate to trust and safety issues. And in equities of gays and minorities. So hundreds of people will at least get my take on the community.    They can do with the site what they Wish.    I can only control what I can I will let every guest know this is not an inclusive site no matter what they say.   I’m a gay minority.  Even if it only affect a few of their bookings I’m ok with that.   Also air bnb lied canceled  25 guest two checking in that day.  They said they would help guest.  I reached out to all most all of them.   None received help.

@John2913  Cancel culture is very real, I'm sorry you actually believed the media who told you it wasn't real. 

I'm sorry this happened to you. I would suggest you continue to fight this one, a false allegation with no proof cannot be allowed to stand. 

 

If you've been able to reach out to those guests can you book them privately? Sounds like you'll be taking your business to vrbo etc. 

Don is getting a management team for his houses. as going through cheno.  He feels totally beaten up. As was a champion for inequalities in health care system in California.  I just am associated so banned.  I never really got a real answer. So We just guessing.   Ironic that we came to only this site for their trust and safety and inclusiveness.  We left vrbo years ago.  Not trashing them we liked Just having one site.   We obviously chose wrong.   They can’t take. Away the friends we have from all over the world.  That’s the positive but the reality is this is a racist homophobic site.  If they using world like association.   It’s their site can do as they wish.   I just wish we had not supported the brand for a decade.    I love the flyers i had made for houses to why we are not an air bnb. My house I get to post what I want.   We no longer allow air bnb related. To sites homophobic Racism.     It’s actually been a great ice breaker for stories.

Hi @John2913 

 

I just wanted to let you know that I've asked Airbnb Support to have a look at this, and if I'm able to come back to you with any further information or assistance, I'll get in touch with you.

Trust me no one gets  back took me two weeks to figure out what was going ok.    originally we thought this was a tax issue.   Reality is Don even addressed issue and was up front that he wanted to have it looked at.  So  he brought the issue up.  Honestly obviously not best policy.   The sad thing was guest effected. That day.   At first I was trying to make plans for them but then thought better not my brand.   Don is going through cheno right now also.    We sent the lawsuits we had helping minorities in the health care system.      I’m not unrealistic that we can legally fight but association is the word air bnb used so you actually making racial discrimination statements.    Ie  president Biden friends with Byrd does that male him a racist.   Again I’m just guessing on the situation we both are as never got clear cut.   Trust and safety I have a squatter of your in house.    Don is getting a management team for his houses as he’s to sick anyways.   They ironic part of all this is we went down too  just air bnb as we felt safest on the sites.  As far as trust and safety and 99 percent positive.   Problem with too many houses.   Site and support treat you like one property.
