the owner had kept instant booking on but he actually did not want to give it out on rent. my booking was accepted and on the day of check in I was told by the owner that he had not even put it on Airbnb and he does not stay there and it happened by mistake. though he refunded the money to airbnb who refunded to me but it caused lot of inconvenience to me and Airbnb did not even offer any compensation for the same. ideally they should check if the place accepting instant booking is still active or not. it was a really terrible experience and I had to book a hotel at the last minute which cost me double the amount
