Support does not understand my issue and I cannot escalate

I need a little bit of advice. I have used airbnb for about 7 years now, and personally I booked over 10.

 

On my last booking, in our short trip to Budapest the listing was very off: the walls were damaged, everything was kinda dusty, no natural light although the photos were quite luminos, horrible mattress that was lower than the bedframe. I had arrived at the accommodation and stayed 1h and then I booked something else. It was my bf birthday, we had dinner reservation everything was done in a hurry. i do have receipts of everything. The host wouldn't refund me.

 

I had contacted airbnb support and they say that they couldn't get the host to reimburse me, which I already knew. i tried to explain multiple times that is not my first airbnb, i have good reviews but the listing was not up to the standard. They keep postpoining me and when I escalate it again it was an answer that didn't made sense. Posted below:

 

"As we investigated I would want to inform you that the as my Ambassador mentioned earlier we are bound to abide by certain regulations. But I am sorry we will not be able to provide a refund as it is the Host discretion.:"

 

How can I get my refund for this horrible experience? This was on the 12th it's taking 10 days.

Hi @Cosmina5 , I am sorry to hear you had to go through this refund situation. Did you happen to  get in touch with either the host or Airbnb Support team again, to get this resolved?
