Just about 6am and I haven’t slept a wink.
We’ve been with Airbnb for only a couple months.
yesterday I had a booking for 3 nights. A guy was coming in with two other guys on a business trip. They got here later than they told me, then the guy phones me and says that he wants to cancel the booking, that his job deal fell through. They’d stay the night and then leave in the morning. I told them I couldn’t cancel it as it had already started, but he could change his reservation through the app and I’d accept the changes. I heard nothing back from him. at least not until 9pm last night. He said one of his employees found bedbugs (no bites just a bug in the sheets) Yesterday morning and he didn’t have time to tell me until he got home (4 hour drive away).
He says he is reporting us.
here’s the problem. I honestly feel that he’s mad his job fell through, he’s out money for the Airbnb plus wages and Is looking to have the money refunded. He didn’t know how to change his booking, apparently. We went over and couldn’t find any traces of bedbugs in the room.
I’ve been reading horror stories about bed bugs. I’m getting the place checked just to make sure, not wanting to be out $1000’s. Will Airbnb make the guys have some proof to their claim? They have a picture but it’s not clear, plus the sheet it’s on doesn’t match the colour of our sheets.
