Booked a room on airbnb but chose the wrong date and now the date has passed

I wanted to book a room for september 8th and 9th but accidentally put in august instead, i realized yesterday what happened and the trip has already been completed, i messaged the owner and they said theres nothing they can do because the date has passed, is there absolutely no way i could get my money back?

@Shereen12 

The owner has been payed and you did not show up.

That's easy money for the host..

Was there not any communication upfront about arrival time etc.. ?

I fear you lost your money and have to blame yourself...

Best regards,

I'd say no. The host's place was blocked and they shouldn't lose out due to your error. Sorry, @Shereen12, one of life's lessons.
