Comments on: Another Airbnb Last Minute Host Cancellation https://www.airbnbhell.com/another-airbnb-last-minute-host-cancellation/ Uncensored Airbnb Stories from Hosts & Guests Wed, 04 Mar 2020 19:03:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: James https://www.airbnbhell.com/another-airbnb-last-minute-host-cancellation/comment-page-1/#comment-34492 Wed, 04 Mar 2020 19:03:39 +0000 https://www.airbnbhell.com/here-it-is-again-another-airbnb-last-minute-host-cancellation/#comment-34492 It’s possible the host took the more lucrative booking, but it is plausible that the host is listing the property on multiple agencies (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, etc.) and had a calendar sync issue. Such issues are common because Airbnb makes frequent changes to their website that cause 3rd party synchronization apps to malfunction. Of course, it’s not your problem, but that late in the game, the host would have to make the choice of cancelling you or the other guest (that was already checked-in), so the host definitely made the best choice. The host would’ve been fined $100 by Airbnb and stripped of Superhost status for a year. It’s common for Airbnb to pass that $100 on to the guest if you call them.

Regarding the review, it doesn’t make sense for you to review the host’s listing that you never visited. A rant full of speculations about why the host canceled isn’t useful either. The automated review tells prospective guests what they need to know, which is that the host cancelled a guest’s reservation without extenuating circumstances and the cancellation happened a specific number of days before the reservation was scheduled to start.
