I reserved the place for later that evening. About 4 hours later it became apparent that my friends and I wouldn’t be able to make it so I canceled. This was during Belize’s off-season, and it was only reserved for 4 hours, so the opportunity cost to the host was certainly $0. Despite this, he was unwilling to issue even a 50% refund for the two nights I had reserved, pocketing about $350. Yes, this was technically in-line with their stated cancellation policy, but it still says something about the kind of person he is. You are much better off just booking through the villa’s website rather than dealing with this guy. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS HOST!
