How many people are going to claim “leigitmate” reasons just to cancel though? Probably every cancellation. If I had a legitimate reason, I’d be more concerned with that than to care about a small fee.

Re comments from ‘Tom’ and ‘David’. It’s actually a very interesting choice of language to call a host ‘flaky’ because they had a legitimate need to cancel. Are all hosts who do not robotically submit to the requirements of air bnb to be considered ‘flaky’ i wonder? Maybe that is part of the unofficial ideology informing the corrupt policies of air bnb.

The only thing ‘flaky’ is the excuses Airbnb offers to defend itself from unethical policies and practices. There are legitimate times when a host needs to cancel, why should they be punished? The guest already gets refunded. Air bnb is way out of line. Oh and this complaint has nothing to do with the ability to manage a calendar.

If you can’t manage your calendar you shouldn’t host. And you should be punished for screwing the guest around.

I guess it’s to weed out flaky hosts.
