Has this happened to anyone else?
The recent 'cosmetic' changes to the platform allowed some of the blocked dates in my calendar to reopen despite me having blocked them.
When a double booking came to light and the problem was revealed I instantly contacted guests (within minutes of their booking coming through) and explained that there had been a glitch and that they would need to cancel, I would of course provide a full refund.
AirBnB then cancelled on their behalf but has imposed cancellation penalties on my account despite me explaining the situation.
There are two other hosts on a local AirBnB FB page I am on that this has also happened to, but AirBnB says that this is not enough evidence of a problem... has this happened to anyone else?
