What has annoyed me is that a Host, who KNEW 12 months in advance that we were bringing our SMALL dog, arbitrarily presented us with a demand ON ARRIVAL for an extra €30 PER DAY.
Had she informed me of this exorbitant fee at the point of booking I would have looked elsewhere. ( I guess she could on this basis have demanded any amount. It says in listing that there is a charge ( not detailed) for dogs dependant on size. She KNEW I was bringing a SMALL dog, made no specific mention of a fee).
Host provided precisely NOTHING by way of facilities for my dog, and insisted that he was tied up when outside ( we complied)
I refused to pay and now host has raised a complaint via Airbnb.
There was no deposit so I don’t see how Airbnb can take this money off me. They asked if I was prepared to pay half. I’m not. I’m not prepared to pay anything extra.
Incidentally my dog caused NO damage and NO soiling whatsoever.
Im really cheesed off, and just see the hosts as greedy. There was of course a cleaning charge which we were aware of from the start. No problem whatsoever with that.
And if my dog had caused a problem I would of course have paid for it. He didn’t.
Am I being unreasonable?
By the way I have not challenged the host on many indiscrepancies between her listing and reality, as I consider myself an easy going person.
