Unfortunately I did not get to stay at the bnb. When I called Ncumisa, the host, on the day I was supposed to check in to let her know I was on my way, she didn't know who I was.
Then she said she was surprised I called her because she had declined my stay. When I told her that she did not, and I had paid, she said it's her first time listing on Airbnb. She doesn't really know how it works.
Then she said she received an email from me notifying her of my stay at her place and she responded to it telling me she's declined. She said she had declined because she was out of town.
She said she doesn't even have her banking details on Airbnb, so there's no way she will be paid by them.
Then she said she doesn't even know which room is being advertised on Airbnb and asked me to send her pictures, of which I sent her the link to the page.
She then called me back saying I'm actually fortunate because she just got back in town as her father in law has just passed away unexpectedly. So I must not worry, I will not be stranded. She asked me to give her some time, she will call me back.
About 3 hours later (already evening), she calledme saying I must make a plan and call the Airbnb people myself because she never accepted my booking.
At this point, Ncumisa was no longer offering me a place to stay. She was no longer making a plan. She lied throughout the conversation, changed her story as it suited her.
I have been robbed of my money, and left stranded in another city to see to finish.
