Host cancelled in the last week of the covid exemption - Now property available but for much more...

Absolutely gutted, this holiday was planned for a year and the host has canceled less than 4 weeks to the arrival date (1st Aug - 8th).

I started looking for another place to stay and low and behold his property is now available again but at a much higher cost.

I messaged him and he said "refresh the browser, its an AirBnB issue". that was on Monday and I checked again today and he's just booked the Saturday (1st Aug).

This obviously removes it from my search results as it doesn't match my arrival date anymore - sneaky & greedy 😞

Can I report this host, surely this is just taking advantage of the system?

@Richard1959 I would try reporting the host. If the host cancelled Airbnb should have blocked the dates as part of the penalty.

Where were you planning to go? Derbyshire is nice and green at present (although this may be down to the amount of rain we are getting!)
