Recently my calendar keeps opening up dates that I have blocked out so they show as available for guests to request to book.
This has happened over a dozen times lately and trying to get Airbnb Support to acknowledge responsibility or fix it is like banging my head against a brick wall.
I have phoned them, messaged them, sent snap shots of unblocked dates and all I get is polite, well scripted verse of going through all my calendar dates each time to check if they are correct and advise on how to cancel guest reservations. Airbnb have not admitted they have a fault with their system and I am fed up of trying to sort it out with them.
I can see I am not alone in this calendar issue by all the other people who have raised the same complaint.
In order to help stop guests requesting to book dates that have un-blocked themselves on my calendar, I have now raised my blocked dates to a high nightly amount so that when/if they unblock themselves guests are unlikely to book them. I cant think what else to do.
It is a shame that Airbnb Support has failed so spectacularly on addressing this issue as I had otherwise found them very swift to help and with good support for both host and guest. Not so this time.
