AirBnB member booked my room for total strangers he has never met or know and sent them to me?

[Kuss0]

A verified member on AirBnB booked my room in home for some total strangers he has never met of ever known and sent them to me to stay in my home for three nights?
He did not asked me if I was alright with in it, at first he pretended he was booking the room for himself and all the conversation that we had, he did not relay them (to the guests) either. The arrived and there was problem, because he had booked the wrong room for them and had not confided in them> Look at all  the trouble it caused?
This whole transaction wasted my time, the gusts did arrive at 6PM, then check out soon after, and it was then that the truth came out.

How those airBnB allows this?  please do I ask for an explanation about this issue?

Third Party Bookings are not allowed under the AirBnB ToS, you could have called and had the booking cancelled.

@Kuss0 that is very rude behavior on the part of the booking guest.

One thing I don't understand: what was the motivation of the booking guest to book a room for people he did not know and had never met?

Why would he spend his money on complete strangers?

@Matthew285   I read on a different forum not to long ago about an AirBnB host who double booked her place, she then went and rented a place similar to hers for the one she overbooked. She did not tell the other host it was a third party booking. The guests who showed up were surpised that they were not sent to where they rented and had a completely different house then they wanted. She knew better as a host, yet did this without telling the other host or the guests. AirBnB apprently made this all good. Register the guests properly at the new place. The host said she didn't know if the other AirBnB host suffered for pulliing this stunt, but hoped so.

@Kuss0 I am rather confused, why did you accept this booking when you knew the guest who booked would not be staying? Why didn't you call Airbnb report this guest and ask them to cancel the booking.

Airbnb does not allow third party bookings, but it appears you let the guests arrive before cancelling the booking?

The host should be sanctioned or banned for doing this. Report it to Airbnb and encourage the guests to do the same. That's pretty sleazy. And the host who did this owes you the booking fee out of his/her own pocket.

Finding out what happened when the guests checked in is horrible.

But here's what doesn't add up. When you confirm a booking the guests are given an address. So how did he manage to book for them but get them the address if it was different than his own?

[Letti0]

@Christine615  If I remember correctly in the post I'm referring to the host texted that the wrong address had been issued to them on the reservation and it should have been XXX.

Hi, @Letti0 I understood your context. What I'm not understanding is the original poster's situation. Another host book @Kuss0's place for third party guests he had never met. That would meant that the host was using his/her credit card to secure the listing. But how is that communicated to the guests? Wouldn't they know the home they are being sent to is not the one they tried to book? (And how does one double book?)

Rhetorical questions, but it does seem to be that there is a gross problem with the Airbnb booking system that this can happen without approval of the host whose home is being used.
