I just started hosting again, and I have my entire home, and one of the bedrooms within my home as a listing. Normally, my bookings are for a weekend or week at maximum. Anyway, I got a request to book my entire home starting in four days for over a month from a guy who was going to have four or five construction workers staying at my home. He had five good reviews, so I accepted the reservatio, mind you this is four days before their arrival. I started thinking of all I had to do to get everything ready for their arrival, and where I was going to go. Normally, I go stay with my parents or a friend for a few days. Well, long story short staying with my parents was not going to be an option, so I had to cancel the reservation as it says three days before arrival . yet doesn't point out reservation was only made the day before. I worked really hard non-stop for three days and then realized I would have been able to pull it off. Anyway, so I messaged the guest and told him if for some reason, he hadn't found another place to stay I would be able to accommodate him now, much to my surprise. He messaged me back and said he would like to book my place for different days that fell in within the original cancelled reservation. I thought I was going out of my way to make the reservation work, but I could not change the dates or the price because my calendar was blocked off from the cancellation, even though it was the same guest. I other words, the guests was actually wanting to change the reservation dates as well, and still couldn't tell me if he was going to need it for more time, but he would let me know?! I was on hold (if you can call it that with Airbnb technical support) all morning long with no answers until the guest messaged me and told me not to worry about it anymore they had to go another route. I asked if he booked another Airbnb, he said yes they had tongomthat route. I guess Im just upset that I went out of my way to try and accommodate him even after I cancelled, yet Im still being punished for the cancellation, but not the fact that I tried to change the dates for the guest who obviously wanted to stay at my place. I should have just declined the reservation in hindsight, but if I would have known being honest and trying my best to accommodate him was going to take up my entire morning, I wouldn't even have tried. Especially, now I search for my listing on all the other days and it does not show up. Basically, Im so sick of Airbnb and their rules. They don't care about the host, but only the hosts money they are making from them.
