The host called me the night before our trip to let me know that the accommodation had been double booked. I asked whether there would be a place for us to stay the following night and she assured me that there would be as we had booked before the others. At 10:30 the following day, a few hours before check in time and just as we were about to walk out the door, I received another phone call from the host saying that we could no longer come and stay. Even though we had paid for our trip and it was confirmed weeks in advance somehow the decision had been made by the host that we would be the ones to be shafted. The host then tried to put all the blame on air bnb. She had previously admitted that she had no email for 10 days. My husband had taken a day off work, we had arranged babysitters for our two young kids and had guests coming to stay at our place while we were away. So to say it was an inconvenience would be an understatement. Definitely not the relaxing getaway we were hoping for and a dismal way to run a business. We will not be recommending afterglow cottages.
