Hosts use blackmail air bnb give no support
Had a few bad experiences now, hosts excepting a booking then cancelling.
Latest Booking was paid and host demanded more money (During world cup) they made threats and said that no matter what air bnb said I would not be allowed to stay there.
The online support was fast to reply but not of much use. They said booking would be honoured. I asked what would happen if I arrive and the owner simply doesn’t let me stay (That was what owner said). Air bnb gave me no confidence theyd be able to assist or sort accommodation so I had to cancel and rebook more expensive accommodation. I was told by air bnb due to the host violating the policy that they would be blocked from booking out accommodation on these dates - this has not happened.
