I am also a host, and that is completely unacceptable. The accommodations should be ready at the check in time (3pm) regardless of what time the guest says they are arriving. I would definitely write a review and also try to get some compensation for that.

I am also an Airbnb host. Airbnb will fine a host if a room is not available at the appointed and posted check in time. Make sure that all of your correspondence with the host is through the airbnb platform, and report this to airbnb. You are probably entitled to some money back.

I’m an air bnb host, or at least have been for a couple of months, and I’m going to encourage you to write that review!! Hosts have little protection from airbnb, but guests do. And responsible hosts don’t want every host’s reputation smeared because of unprofessionalism. As a host I’ve been burnt by hosts who have given glowing reviews for fear of retaliation. It only hurts everyone when that’s done. IF you still are concerned about retaliation, DO NOT REVIEW HOSTS. That sends a message to people in the know even if you do not say a thing.

As a current airbnb host, I’d advise people to stay away from airbnb like the plague. Contrary to what they are telling people, their verification is not credible and they penalize hosts financially and ratings wise if a host cancels someone they think is not safe. Hosts who cannot afford to cancel bad guests create an unsafe environment to both guests and neighborhoods.

And finally, as I’ve said, I AM A HOST but any postings of mine you see are from my cat’s facebook page, 🙂 because I do not have a facebook page for safety and security reasons… that should tell you something about airbnb’s verification system.

Good luck! And thanks for sharing.
