Airbnb cancelled within 30 days of travel

Airbnb cancelled within 30 days of travel

it’s about 24 days prior to my trip and the host/airbnb had to cancel.  The service  has been terrible. I’ve had lots of calls and day of messages. Airbnb have a policy to find similar properties in the event of a a trap being cancelled within 30 days. I have been suggested trips that are less duration (doesn’t work as flights already booked), not enough bedrooms, they have sent me locations really far from the beach (a key criteria originally) or no heated pool, it’s terrible. Then they send me better ones but the price is greater than before and they will not cover the full cost.

I asked for a a clear message telling me what the offer was and what the reasons were for not honouring their own policy to provide an alternative, I asked where this all was in my terms and conditions, I asked to co firm they have no alternative dispute process and co firm there was no where else I could escalate too….they told me they would then next thing closed the issue down. During this time I was disconnected (despite remaining calm and polite) and had the senior handler tell me (in the closure message) they tried to call me (the call rang once then hung up).

 

I’ve never have had such poor service and they do all this 25 days before I am due to fly.

Hi @Aron3747

 

Travelling can be stressful enough as it is, I'm sorry to hear that the way your booking was managed added to that! Have you since managed to find a solution, with the help of the Support team?

 

Let us know how you are getting on please, and I hope you have a wonderful trip in 22 days. 🙂

 

Thanks,

 

Emilie

Hi, nothing was available at the same price for similar specifications so we had to pay an additional amount (£700) towards different accommodation. Airbnb paid some

too. I he a great support yesterday but honestly the service prior to the last lady I had was awful. People telling me different things, closing the case when it was no closed. No providing me with written information that I could try and use with travel insurance etc being disconnected. I must have spent 20 hours sorting this out and.l battling for a fairer outcome. Anyway trip booked again and looking forward but I would have serious reservations about booking with Airbnb in the future as I didn’t realise they could respond as brutally as they did. While they contributed, me paying £700 extra was not expected
