Airbnb Canceled My Reservation 12 Hours Before Check-In

November 10, 2024 11:37 PM6

I made an Airbnb reservation nearly a month ago for the Düsseldorf Medical Fair, a critical business trip I had been planning for months. Initially, my booking was canceled because the host never approved it—something I didn’t even know could happen! Forced to rebook, I had to pay 40% more as availability dwindled. I thought it couldn’t get worse, but 12 hours before check-in, Airbnb canceled my second reservation without warning, leaving me stranded.

Prices skyrocketed, with options now at ₺35,000 and ₺42,000 compared to my initial ₺10,000 reservation. Airbnb offered a laughable ₺800 promo code as compensation. I spent hours on hold with customer support, desperately trying to resolve this as my flight time ticked closer. Nobody helped, and I ultimately had to cancel my flight, losing months of preparation and crucial business opportunities.

Had I canceled last minute, I’d lose all my money, but Airbnb gets away with this chaos? I’ll never trust Airbnb for important trips again. This experience has been a disaster, and I hope no one else goes through the stress, frustration, and financial loss you caused me. Please address this immediately.
