Hi all,
Can someone help please. I booked and paid for, on January 8th, a 3 night stay in Ibiza - in a small area with very few places to stay - I need to stay in this particular town for a reason. Was advised to try an Air BNB.
Last week, however, I received a message from the host to say that there was an overbooking on the last night, and they needed to cancel this one night. I declined. Explained nowhere else to stay which was why I booked and paid for their accommodation in January.
Host said I needed to accept or he would cancel the whole stay. I refused and declined.
Next day - in sheer panic (at arriving at this place, to be told to go away) I found a hotel - £200 more than my original Air BNB booking and 5 miles from where I wanted to be in the first place. Reluctantly booked, as I lost all faith in my host.
I have written 4 messages, asking him to cancel and refund in full - citing that he said if I didn't accept the last night cancellation, he would cancel the whole booking.
No response
I have also written to Air BnB support asking for help
No response
Someone is holding on to my £438 and I am not happy. I refuse to go through the resolution process as it gets to the "cancel" point and it says that the host will only refund me one night.
This is my first time booking an Air BNB. And It'll be my last.
Try as I may, I cannot find an actual telephone number to speak to Air BnB about this - any ideas anyone??
Thanks
