We were offered $437 per night, but we ended up paying $1000 extra for five nights. I trusted the advertised pricing and proceeded without hesitation until I read our bank statement. By this time, the condo is still showing the originally quoted price in our wishlist. I confess that it was my fault for agreeing to pay a sum believing it was the amount quoted to me, because I did not expect businesses to not honor their advertised price. By the time I spotted it on our bank statement, it had already passed the 48-hour free cancellation window, and if we had canceled, we would have been charged half of the total rent, despite the fact that we still had 45 days until our reservation date. The price, according to the owner, varies with demand. Right, imagine you're shopping at a supermarket and the price at the checkout does not match the price tag, or you're purchasing a property and the price at signing differs from the price you've negotiated, and it's all due to "demand." This is a shady business practice that I strongly warn everyone to avoid. We are Airbnb hosts ourselves, and we always honor the pricing we quote. If I were them, I would let our guests cancel rather than leaving dissatisfied consumers feeling duped while strictly following the cancellation policy. Given the uncertainty of the pandemic, who has a strict cancellation policy in the first place? If you're looking, think twice before booking, keep an eye out for last-minute price increases, and better yet, put your hands together and pray that nothing changes for your travel plans because you'll only be refunded half of the rent even if you cancel months before your trip if you're outside of the 48-hour free cancellation window. If you cancel, the owner doesn't mind collecting half of the rental fee, even if they could easily rent it to someone else given the amount of time left. Good luck with it!
