The problem with airbnb is that it is largely based on trust. When people are scammed, there is little comeback. Airbnb seem to think they are just an ‘honest’ broker/middleman. Little or nothing to do with them so 🙁

Hosts are making bank all over while honest people are getting ripped off. $25 daily cleaning fees and more!? What if WE are clean!? I always clean dishes, sweep, etc. They only need to do laundry. One of our stays in Milwaukee was terrible – host didn’t clear sidewalk and front walk of ice, so getting into the apartment was very dangerous, to say the least. Then, no lights in stairwell – not noticed until we came in late at night and realized – no lights! Refrigerator not operational. No coffee. Etc. Air B’n’b could care less about the condition of the rentals – as long as they get their (major) cut. This company used to be cool – honest, forthright, easy to use. Then it went public, stock prices soaring. And guess what? Company goes to crap. We, the folks that built that company, are left to suffer by the thieving hosts & exorbitant fees. Hotels.com for now on. Bummer, major bummer.

Well, you cancelled and apparently hadn’t read cacellation policy….. Host is in his right and asking for a late check-in fee is not unreasonable at short notice.
