Hello I honestly do not know leaving this post here could help me... but I’m very scared and anxious if this host could do something to my friends in Canada.
So i’m leaving post here.
I booked one of airbnbs in Canada in the first week of August (which is like four weeks ago).
While I stayed there, I noticed the place I was at looked different than what it showed in the listing. So I asked the host since he has multiple properties, I thought he might have given me a wrong room and I was worried if I was staying someone else’ room.
He called me as soon as he received my msg. He was yelling at me on the phone like “I feel insulted, i’m telling you I give you better room more spacious room, and how dare you msg me and say I gave you a different room!!”
(I should have noticed by then that he was crazy...)
I calmed him down simply saying that I was just checking if he gave me the wrong room since I did not mind the different room that I was actually staying.
Suddenly he calmed down and thanked me for understanding him.
But when I left and I left the review saying the place was nice the location was perfect but since it was a totally different room, I gave him a star for accuracy. And I said on the review honestly, everything was nice but the place was a different than what it shows on the listing. Which was true. I thought I should let other people to know and make sure to check with him before they actually check in if the place is the same place that shows on the listing.
and as soon as he saw my review he got upset. He started sending me msgs on my other messenger app. And today, he got extremely furious that I ruined his business and started sending me msgs in all messenger apps that I have.
The things that he said and the way he harassing me scares me, because he saw my friends in Canada when they came to pick me up. I really think if he remembers their faces, he would be able to do something to them.
I do not know how to deal with this person (since he is still sending me msgs through other apps - even though i blocked/flagged him on most of apps)
Is there any way that I could make it stop other than changing my mobile number? Or is there any way to report him to Canada police? Would it help?
