We're looking at visiting The Entrance next Easter. The main thing holding us back from trying this service is the cancellation policy doesn't guarantee any alternative accomodation. Yes, I saw the bit about a refund which should be obvious. However our concern is the risk if the host cancels a few weeks before our trip there may be no alternative accomodation because everything is booked out.
Are there any tips to help a newbie trust this service? I see the reviews and the date they began hosting but I wish there were more stats (like number of successful transactions which doesn't necessarily correlate with the number of reviews) to try and mitigate this risk by choosing a very established host who is very serious about their business. Are there additional host rankings or something we're missing?
