I had the unfortunate experience of guests causing damage to my property! I have photographs and a string of texts from the guest admitting to the damage yet she “couldn’t afford” to pay straight away. Obviously I involved the air bnb resolution centre but it’s now 7 days later and there is still no response
when I ring the customer service number they say it’s not their area and I just have to wait.
Talk to someone at the US based call center in San Francisco during normal California business hours and request to have your case escalated. +1 (415) 800-5959
I had a guest leave my home in in a mess and left heating on at maximum. The guest admitted this and refused to pay any cleaning fee or answered phone calls from air Bnb. Air bnb said they would give me a nominal refund for the experience, but it has been several weeks, more phone calls, wasted time, more distress and yet air Bnb are still to cough up a mere $30 to compensate their host. Very disappointing.
