Hello
My wife and I are first time AirBnB users, and going to Florida with our son, in the beginning of 2017.
At one of our destinations, we found some really attractive and cheap places near the beach, and tried to book them, but got rejected.
One guy just said "sorry currently NA", another guy replied "sorry, you just missd the last dates, check back later to see if anyone cancels etc. etc."
That sounds legit - BUT when I go to my wish list now, 24 hours later, some of these declined rooms are still listed as available on the dates we want to travel - a few even have entire january and february vacant in the calendar.
So now I got courius. Are we rejected because of our lack of renting history, incomplete profiles, or insufficient inquiry messages?
Then I wonder why the hosts tell us that the dates are unavailable, instead of telling us what made them reject us?
And also, is it acceptable behavior to keep showing an all-vacant calendar, 24 after rejecting our request with the reason that the places are unavailable?
Or am I missing something here? We're new to this stuff, so please bear with our questions 🙂
We are driving around to a handfuld of cities, and already booked a couple of "ordinary" inexpensiveAirBnB places to stay here at - with no problems...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help us clarify this 🙂
