This needs to be taken down – it’s just someone having a hissy fit even though the rules clearly explain all this prior to booking.

You shouldve read the cancellation policy first before booking.
Now you know.
Carry on, smartly.

This guy bitched and moaned on Reddit as well and was universally slapped down by everyone. He is still venting and not taking responsibility for his own actions. Kinda sad really.

I don’t really understand this. You are the one who booked with a host who had a Strict cancellation policy. You are the one that blocked out the host’s calendar so no other bookings could be accepted. You are the one who’s circumstances changed, not the hosts. Why should the host be penalized when they did nothing wrong? Your situation is absolutely not “extenuating circumstances”, that is for people who are too ill or injured to travel. You tweeting the CEO over and over just shows what a dolt you are. No offense but this is 100% due to your own negligence and ignorance and is nobody’s fault but yours. I’m glad that the host will receive his/her just payout and that you learned a lesson in personal responsibility.
