I booked an Airbnb reservation with reservation code HM5RWB8XAR for travel dates Oct ****, 2022. The amount is two be paid in two installments with first being $495 already paid. The reservation has full refund policy if cancelled by Sep 7. I tried to cancel the reservation on Sep 7 at 2:30pm for which I was getting $0 in refund which should have been $495. Believing it would have been a system issue I reached out to the host who advised me to cancel the reservation as it was still within the full refund window. Having no other option, I raised an exception request to the host to refund through the customer service. The host then declined the request citng the cancellation policy.I reached out to the Airbnb customer service for resolution who sided with the host and refused any resolution. The customer service agent advised that I should have cancelled the reservation at an earlier time when I got an automated reminder for making any adjustments, which I never received until the cancellation window has passed. Instead I was getting $0 when I tried canceling with the automated system.I am raising this request to refund the initial installment amount of $495 which was originally promised by the host to be refunded but later rejected and due to Airbnb customer service only taking the side of the host.Business Response

I booked a Tepee with camper van for 9/3-9/4 via Airbnb. The tepee host did not respond to my message via Airbnb on the day of checking in. Airbnb contacted the host and was not able to get in touch with them. It was Labor Day weekend, my partner and I was waiting for Airbnb to resolve the issue in the muddy of no where for over one hour not knowing where to stay for the night. Airbnb count find us an accommodation for the night and only offered to pay $100 for the hotel we found after driving 45 minutes. The cost of the hotel us $414 after discount, which is almost double the original cost. Airbnb did not respond to my request to escalate the complaint until 9/7 . They did not consider my request and asked me to click on a link to get the $100 they promised. The link did not work and lead me to an error page. I have the screen shot for all our communication and the error page. Airbnbs customer service is not timely nor satisfactory. They were not proactive and made the complaint process and refund process very difficult and humiliating. I demand Airbnb to refund the difference of our original booking fee which is $228 and the final payment of our hotel , which is $414. I provided the hotel immediately upon Airbnba request but they did not consider that.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:1. The policy Airbnb refers to was not disclosed during our conversation until this past response. The customer service representative mentions a refund of 30% , unclear it is 30% or the original price I have paid or the newly booked hotel cost when Airbnb could not find me replacement on that day. Then they changed it to $100. I am not clear how they made the decision. Please provide details of this Aircover thing which is new.
2. The purpose of the service fee Airbnb charges the client is unclear. What is it for? If it does not serve as a purpose of insurance for the client when the booking did follow through for whatever reason?
3. How much burden Airbnb as a company will take on when the booking does not go through besides punishing the individual host?

I made 2 reservations on Airbnb for *********, the first one for Aug ***** paid $320.10, and the second booking was for ********* Aug ***** paid $231.66. On August 16th 2022, my daughter and I became sick, tested positive for COVID on the 17th. I called Airbnb about my sickness and in ability to travel, airbnb customer service told me first they need to cancel my reservation, and they will email the host. In addition, I emailed both hosts that I won't be able to travel at this time and I would like a refund. Both hosts stated that I need to call Airbnb customer service, I told them I have called them, they said AirBnb will handle it. Later, Airbnb representative wrote me that both host did not respond to their messages. I feel robbed and I want my money back. It is not my fault that I got sick, and told not to travel so I won't infect others.I am seeking for refund for both amounts paid totaling $551.76.Business Response

I already tried reaching out your hosts for the two reservation about the refund request.
For the first reservation HMPSKE8JFJ, with your host Easton, I tried to reach them out however I received no response since last week. In cases like this, we are not allowed to process any refund without your host approval.
For the second reservation HM3NQK3CXC, with your host ****, according to him he is unable to provide any refund since he already paid the reservation from his timeshare company, and he has no way to get the money back.

I am rejecting this response because:I don't think this Airbnb representative has read my complaints. The reason that I reached here for help is because the Resolution team isn't providing any solutions for the dispute nor funding to repair.
i have the floor repairs completed and require Airbnb to compensate however unsuccessful. The Resolution team insisted to have me sign the final release form to hold no responsibility of Airbnb but we cabt agree on the basic amount of the repairs.
Not only Resolution refuse to provide any funds to repair the shower rather claim it was tear abd wear with all the clear evidence that guests allow modules ti build up to damage the grout abd the foundation of the showe floor which caused holes in the showe to allow blockage water escape to the Landury room and living room.
Also the amout they willing provide was less than half of the repair cost.
So how could be Resolution at all???

None of the issues that I listed were reslolved. Airbnb's resolution team insisted the offer was final, no room for negotiation. The worst is they set up 24 hr deadline since I filed complaint at Better Business Bureau. Deadline is tomorrow they still refused to pay to repair of the shower, and making ridiculous and unrealistic excuses to not compensate the repair.
So there will never be outcome reached!

I rented an Airbnb at ************************************************************************. The confirmation code was HMPA4CTAEK. 2 hours after I checked in went to take a shower and there was no hot water in the tiny home. Also the home started with **** moths inside which I killed. Over the next 20 mins more and more moths were in the home. I thought I could make it through and sleep through it. No amount of killing the moths would stop them since they continued to come out of the walls and the home appeared to be infested. This is not up to the standards of Airbnb and specifically should fall under their rebooking and refund policy outlining pests. I booked a new hote and alerted the host and Airbnb. The host has refused multiple refunds since I did not stay at the facility due to the pest issue. I would like a refund of the fees due to pests in the property.Business Response

I have used airbnb for 8 years. Over the last 2 months I spent hours of time planning my vacation and utilizing airbnb to book houses for my family vacation. I had booked 5 airbnbs for over 4000$ and my family was looking forward to our accommodations. Then I wake up to all my airbnbs being canceled and given no explanation other than "criminal records match". No one tried to contact me or notify me what was going on. Canceled everything I planned for months with no justification. I call airbnb and their support says he can't help me that he will reach out to higher powers that can and they will contact me. All my support tickets got closed and all I could do was wait. Meanwhile I am overseas with limited internet access to try and find new accommodations for my vacation. Airbnb has done nothing but bounce me around from one group of support to another. I verified the criminal record match they claimed and the information from their 3rd party is incorrect. They claim I have felony charged on my record witch is false and I have provided proof to them that it is incorrect. All they tell me is that it could take 90 days for the information to get corrected. I dont understand how a business could operate like this and treat a loyal customer so poorly. I want everyone that uses this provider to know just how little they think about themBusiness Response

I am hired as a property manager and co-host for multiplies listings by multiple home owners. One listing in question was recently suspended due to a party complaint. The owner called in and the issue was resolved - the listing was reactivated as there was no party, but a family of six (a father, mother, and four children under the age of 7, and their pet dog) enjoying the swimming pool and listening to music. Me being tied to this property as a co-host has caused all of the other properties I manage to be suspended. The original listing in question was reactived the same day, within a few hours. It is nearing 48 hours since my other listings have been suspended. I have called in over 8 times, with each time someone telling me I will receive a call or email within 1-3 hours. The agent who is responsible for my case has been unresponsive. Multiple tickets were created and marked as "urgent". The Airbnb backend is severely flawed. This "specialist team" the agents are referring to are unresponsive and irresponsible. This is my business and livelihood and due to this team's lack of urgency, I am now losing my job.Business Response

AirBnb has extended my stay one day too far and made me pay for it by slipping a charge through without my permission. I had been talking with the woman almost daily for a week beforehand and she just did it anyway. Now the room is double booked and double paid. I can't get anyone else to talk to me as once you make contact you always get the same person. The gal I have gotten is rude and inefficient. I cannot get her to understand what I'm telling you. The room is booked by me and error on bnbs fault. It is also booked by the new guy for the 17th and we both have paid. I would like the $60 that they took out of my bank account last night to be returned to my bank account. I am not going to be there on the 17th another guy is. That seems pretty simple to me. The Airbnb is at *****************************************************************************************. My last night is the 16th I do not want to pay for the 17th. I should not have to pay for the 17th. Someone else already has. And now I have too. The company won't let anyone handle this problem except the lady that's creating it. I don't know where else to turn.Business Response
