Being a superhost gives you no advantage.
Due to property damages caused by guests and travel issues related with the same reservation, I was forced to request assistance from airbnb customer service. After more than a month, with no efforts shown to really mediate the issue (the guest agreed to pay the amount of 64€, but airbnb transfered to me 35€ regarding the travel issues.
Then started my nightmare, to claim a compensation for the property damages.
After being requested to send documentation for 3 times which attempted always on time, trust and safety team made a resolution that considered part of the damaged items with no value (specifically an heater from the 70's) and forcing me to accept their resolution within 24H (under te risk of getting nothing) they paid to me an half of the budget I've sent to them.
Meanwhile, I was contacted by the trip team asking me to justify 1 star given to the guests.
I've talked with more than 10 agents, none of them was able to do anything except saying "we undertstand your frustration".
The agent who made the resolution, was informed that their resolution was violating the article 3 of the host guarantee, as per advise made my lawyer. All my concerns were ignored and the case was closed with the case manager refusing to give a supervisor consult.
Basically the trust and safety team made me to lose all confidence in this platform, feeling insecure every time I open the door to a guest.
Today, I am aware that I have my property listed on a platform that has refused my assistance and has excused itself from taking responsibility, forcing me to accept a resolution that violates the article 3 of the host guarantee, as well the Portuguese protection laws to the consumer.
The case is being examined by my lawyer.
