I am on a Strict Cancellation policy which, after the recent change in cancellation rules unilatrally imposed by AirBnB, is not strict enough. I applied for and was declined Super Strict 30 or 60, they say that it is offered only to remote non-urban properties, which mine is.
Somewhere I read that only seasonal properties qualify. If my bookings are all concentrated April to October then is that not seasonal enough?
Anyway after several exchanges they confirmed they would not offer me that status. I asked for clarification as to criteria for eligibility and they closed the conversation. I am not happy at the lack of transarency.
Does anyone have any idea of the eligibility critieria?
Like one other host, having a reservation in place for one year and then receive a last minute cancellation with little or no compenstion is not acceptable. It is particularly painful if you have only the one property, it is either full or empty..feast or famine.
