I would just like to make an observation and see if this is just an anomaly which I am currently experiencing or if it is part of a general trend amongst hosts.
In 3.5 years of hosting, over 350 stays I only ever had 3 guest cancellations!
Since Halloween at the end of October I have had 5. That is 5 guest cancellations for November. I had 2 in one day!
Previously there has always been a reason for the cancellation but in three of those this month there has been no reason, just, ‘please cancel’ or no explanation at all, just a cancellation email notice from Airbnb.
I am wondering if events in San Francisco at the end of October have heightened the level of mistrust in Airbnb and in Airbnb hosts. Nothing else has changed here, I haven’t copped any poor reviews.
Are any other hosts experiencing this?
Cheers......Rob
