I guess you are one of the many Americans who doesn’t realize that most countries have no laws requiring disability access in public accommodations. The situation would have been the same had you planned to stay at an older hotel, hostel, ski lodge, or B&B, so why post it here?

In reply to Mark Beard. I disagree. This guest would not be able to get into the property, nor get out if they would make it in. I appreciate the short timeline but considering the festival etc, the host should have been reasonable and offered to open up the property to new bookings. They would have likely made more money out of it too. So much for the 'sharing economy'...

I have found Air Bnb to be really helpful with extenuating circumstances although it’s hard to know what is covered and what isn’t – i had to cancel a few weeks ago for a trip I was taking due to contracting Pneumonia. I sent a message to see if I qualified and received no reply so I called, and got someone who asked for a document from my doctor showing the diagnosis. I sent a screen shot of my dr visit report that gets sent to my phone, and 45 mins later a case manager contacted me, checking how I was feeling and confirming I was getting a full refund. Checked my credit card a week later and there it was.

A couple days before arriving, it occurred to me…….
So you want the host to take the knock for your late realisation of your malady? I don’t believe that sciatica can be regarded as extenuating circumstances. Neither should Airbnb.

This belongs to the realm of travel insurance. Your logic is similar to this: I buy some bread, discover I’m allergic to gluten and claim my money back from the bakery…….
Thanks for the laugh:)
