I m using Airbnb Help in Twitter now. If it doesn’t work, I will go to it’s CEO twitter and the Airbnb twitter to put all my arguments there to make them give me an explanation... my argument point is :
1. I didn’t make any wrong doing, why do I need to suffer a financial loss if a guest last min cancelled? Just give me one simple reason why I need to pay for the guest decision ..
2. The guest occupy my calendar for two months ..where is my time value of money ? Like you put your money in your bank, where is the interest?
3. Every single Airbnb is unique like an art, only one of a kind in the world unlike hotel rooms..once a guest booked it, no one else can book it..if he books it for two months, basically I will have no other potential guest can book for that period ..if he did last min cancellation, most likely 99% I can’t get any replacement ..Shouldn’t the host get back the payout for the time value of money depending on his reservation holding period ?
4. No transparency and openness under extenuating circumstances..no one inform me to get my agreement or acknowledgment.. shouldn’t I be the informed before any decision made or cancellation? Where is the fairness and openness here?
5. I didn’t ask the guest to book my Airbnb , neither did I ask him to cancel..why should I pay the cost for his decisions? Please give me any correlation and reasons that a host should pay for a guest’s decision...
6. I have spent tremendous time to communicate with the guest and give him tourist information and prepare a helper., where is my recognition and payout? So my time and efforts are all in void. Does it make sense? If yes, please give me at least one reason..
