3 hours from checking in, my Airbnb got cancelled. I have been in a lot of Airbnb's and some have not been pleasant. This would be the worst of my experiences. I got a text from Airbnb when I tried to contact the host for an early check in... Airbnb says, "I see that your Host for Home away from Home had to cancel, and I want to provide some options to help get you booked in a new listing. With AirCover’s Booking Protection Guarantee, I can support you in finding a similar or better home."
In short... Airbnb was supposed to help me find a new place. Not help whatsoever and they wanted me to re-book to another Airbnb host and contact them inconveniently when I already needed a place to stay. The way Airbnb worded it was, "The way it works is that I’ll find options for places to stay that are similar or better than the one you originally booked, and I’ll send you a list to review. " By this time, no response from the cancelled host and I am on my own.
Both host & Airbnb are responsible.
