Consumer Alert. Wow, booked a trip for $1,690 and paid for it. Host cancelled last minute which is out of my control. Airbnb has all the money and has a laundry list of things that have to happen for a refund all which start with the Host...that not in my control. Do this...do that...go here...finally spoke to a person whom could see on the airbnb website the host cancelled...still no refund...they have to verify with the host that they cancelled...huh? Host has to do it within their process. Not my problem...that is between you and the host. You have my $1,690 not the Host. Faster and easier to have the credit card charges reversed than go through this time consuming hell. Oh, btw...airbnb customer service threatened ban me from the site if I disputed the cc charges even though that person could see the host cancelled on me. Alet Alert Alert. I have no dispute with the host...we are in contact...they don't know what to do either.
