The booking went through as well as the money leaving my account straight away but the hosts then cancelled on me with the reason being that they were uncomfortable with the booking... I needed accommodation right then and there especially seeing as there was a random 3 day lockdown for Covid at the time. And then after I was "refunded in full" I then discover it can take up to 15 days for it to go through! What a joke!! How lucky I had extra cash at the time but what if I didn't? I would have had nowhere to stay!
RIDICULOUS!
