We had booked a villa in Florida only to have the host cancel on us stating that AirBNB should not have released the dates to us. Our AirBNB team were great and our money was refunded. We did not enjoy this experience and suspected a problem so we went to a competitor and had the exact same situation with a differnet host and villa in Florida. A contact in the travel industry has suggested to us that there is a trend for price gauging and gazumping going on. Buyer beware!
This seeming lack of control by AirBNB and the competitor shows a very worrying trend. We are now very wary of using this service. Has anyone else seen the same?
