Really frustrating situation. The worst one in 10+ years of using Airbnb. So, I’ll stick to the facts.
We booked the stay in a couple of weeks prior to our travel date. It was confirmed. On the way to the location, we were informed that the host had cancelled our reservation. This was 2 hours AFTER our official check-in time. The explanation given was that there was some construction going on and they had forgotten to block off these dates. If so, why not let guests at the time of booking instead of 2 hours after check-in? Extremely rude and unprofessional. Would not recommend trusting these guys if you need a place to sleep. We had to spend a long time with Airbnb support on the phone to get a new alternative place booked around 8pm the night of.
