It is interesting to read all the comments but not a single reaction from AirBnB.
To all customers and potential customers of AirBnB, please be aware that you book with AirBnB and can still end up with no place to stay on arrival. Why? Because AirBnB allow the host to cancel paid confirmed reservation randomly.
Recently I booked a two-night stay through AirBnB, made payment by credit card and received a confirmation. Subsequently I was informed by AirBnB that the host have cancelled my paid confirmed reservation. The reason for the cancellation: The host have another customer booking for more nights than me. This make unethical logical business for the host.
But what about AirBnB?
I visited the website and found that this is not the first cancellation by this host with the knowledge of AirBnB. What is surprising is that there is no consequence for the host. She is still listed as a host.
Fortunately, I have not started my travel and was able to make alternative arrangement. If I had started my travel, I would have arrived with no place to stay.
I am quite sure AirBnB can fefer me to some clause somewhere in their terms and conditions to show that they are "legally" covered. Is this ethical logical business for AirBnB?
