Yep, the host cancelled you to get more money due to high demand.

Superhost is mostly a meaningless badge, but there is 1 reason to book with a Superhost and this is it. They don’t cancel. If they do, they lose their badge.

To be fair, this is not an issue with Air BnB, but with a bad host. What were his other reviews like? Why did you communicate via WhatsApp & not AirBnB messages? Did you call Air BnB support straight away from the airport? They may not have been able to find another host straight away but could have helped. It sounds like you are sorted for accommodation now, good.

Mistake 1: communicating through whatsapp. ONLY communicate through airbnb.
And, only the first 3 days of your months long trip was an inconvenience? Airbnb penalizes hosts like that, not to worry. Did you choose a superhost? Maybe the other accommodations are better for you after all.

You bet your life, Sweetie, the AirBnB host cancelled you for more money because of the Formula 1 weekend.
You could have lived with a leak in the bathroom if it were true. Even if it had been a major leak, flooding the bathroom, you cannot tell me that he couldn’t get a plumber the same day.
The fact he ignored your messages and did nothing to help you showed guilt.
I hope you got all of your money back from AirBnB.
