I've made a reservation to a listing in Aruba, but the host never reponded to my messages and the refund policy is strict. I don't know what is the details uppon arrivals and I don't wanna risk this trip. The host still approved my check-out re-scheduling but I haven't received not a single email from her. It's been now 5 days since I've booked the place.
When is your trip - if it's months away then the host may have lots of other bookings to deal with and yours is less urgent. Did you pick an established place - ie one with good reviews etc?
If your trip is very soon then I would contact AirBnB and ask them to contact the host
