We chose this place as it was close to family, we was supposed to stay until the 1st of September but due to the news talking about putting turkey on the quarantine list we booked an earlier ticket home, I’m a SINGLE parent I have work and my child has school. I’m not rich that was the amount I came with to turkey. therefore we changed the dates of the reservation because we wasnt going to stay that long. The host rejected it. I even offered him to keep half the money and I get half. I contacted Airbnb support and spoke to case workers. The host told me to cancel the reservation and he would send me 1000tl ( just above £100). He told me for him to send the money I have to write a 5 STAR review. Literally BLACKMAILED me. I told him I can only write it if he accepts the dates I put and he REJECTED again. Keeping almost 3000tl to himself. I did what he said and cancelled it which automatically meant I get 0 back then he told me to write the review he sent to me on WhatsApp, I kindly told him that as it’s cancelled I’m unable to do it as I did what HE told me to. He sent 750tl ONLY out of around 3000 when he promised 1000. He should be grateful I’m not taking him to court for fraud. I have evidence as well.
Maybe if circumstances were different it could of been a nice stay but it was a horrible experience and I’ve been using Airbnb for years.
