All I can say is I’m thankful that Airbnb support team could help me out, because this host did not.
Arrived at the agreed check in time, messaged and called the host 3 times. No response after waiting outside for over an hour.
Contacted Airbnb support who gave him a one hour warning, after which I could cancel and get a refund. He did not respond within this time so we cancelled and got the money back. This was a relief but also meant that we were stuck in Malaga with nowhere to stay. Thankfully we got another place sorted with Airbnb support, so the trip was not completely ruined.
However, not the start you want to a holiday.
