This has been the worst experience!! Do not book with this host!! First, he LIED and said he could not offer me a partial refund, but it had to go through Airbnb. After contacting Airbnb they said the partial refund had to come through the host. So Airbnb and the host each place responsibility on the other, but neither took responsibility themselves. So then I did request a partial refund or a date change with the host, and he promised me a date change. I requested a date in April but he was booked. I requested a date in June, for which there was availability on his calendar, but he waited several days to get back to me until somebody else booked the same week. Of course he awarded it to the other party and not me. So then I requested a date in October but he said he couldn’t “ Open his calendar” that far out. So I said I could do any time that he could. After all this back-and-forth, the deadline to receive the partial refund or date change lapsed, and is now he refusing to do either one for me, even though he was first contacted well in advance of the deadline. If you are expecting honesty, communication, and helpfulness than you should not book with this host.
