Wrong cancellation applied

I have just had a guest cancel with less than 2 days notice, my cancellation policy has ALWAYS been firm however airb&b and refunded her the whole amount and said I am not due a payout as when the guest booked it was under flexible cancellation policy which is absolutely not possible as I have never ever had that policy on my listing!? 
we have paid gardeners and a professional cleaning company and now will be seriously out of pocket. Any advice?

@Camilla282 I suspect customer services just made up the first thing that came into their heads. If you call again you will probably get a different answer. Do you know why the guest cancelled?Also if you look under reservations you should see the cancellation policy assigned to each booking

Guest said “unable to travel” so frustrating that the settings I have taken hours to apply to my listing have just been totally ignored and a full refund given with less than 48 hours notice! Ridiculous really. Thank you for the reply I will call them again @Mike-And-Jane0

@Camilla282 if you go to the booking what policy does it say it was booked under?  I’ve heard of folks whose listing that has jumped into a more flexible category before without their knowledge.
