Due to unforseen circumstances, I was forced to cancel my booking a few minutes after I made the payment. It was a last minute booking, made in Paris the morning the stay was due to begin.
Nevertheless, my host Rosa kept the full payment as a kind of ”late cancellation fee" on late, last minute bookings, which is disproportionate and completely unjustifiable. I cancelled a few minutes after booking, so Rosa went through no trouble and lost no other bookings, yet she kept ALL of my fees (except the cleaning fee) for doing nothing for me. This flat was going to be empty the 2 days I booked (Tues and weds) earning nothing. It's immoral behaviour.
