Upon arrival, the host demanded an extra €140 before allowing access to the room. they said it was for tax and having a pet even though this was never mentioned in the booking, and I declared I was bringing my dog.
I then reached out to air bnb. They showed me the terms and conditions explaining that no air bnb host can't charge extra outside of the booking itself.
air bnb suggested I submit a refund request for the additional amount demanded on arrival.
the host immediately denied the request and where quite rude in their response.
Following that, I was made to get air bnb involved.
having reviewed all the information, Air bnb sided with me, and the host was forced to issue a refund for the additional amount.
air bnb have since reported this host due to their actions.
I am grateful for Air bnbs' prompt support in the matter.
I am leaving this review to make sure other people are not taken advantage of in the future.
