Airbnb Double Cancellation Left Me Stranded with Unexpected Financial Burden

I’m writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding two recent Airbnb bookings—reservation codes hmwkwht4fq and hm3scxmwhn. Not only did these cancellations completely disrupt my vacation plans, but they also left me with unexpected financial strain due to decisions made without my consent.

First, my initial reservation (hmwkwht4fq) was canceled by the host just two days before check-in due to a technical issue with the property. Airbnb issued a credit, which I combined with an additional payment to secure a new reservation (hm3scxmwhn). Unfortunately, this second booking was also canceled, and a refund was processed without my approval, leaving me in an incredibly difficult position to rebook at the last minute.

Because Airbnb’s refund process can take up to 20 days, my credit card balance wasn’t enough to cover another reservation, forcing me to take out a loan. This unexpected step led to additional interest and fees, which I hadn’t planned for since I had already budgeted for my original booking. Now, instead of a relaxing vacation with my family, I am left dealing with financial stress and scrambling for last-minute accommodations.

Airbnb’s handling of these reservations has caused me considerable hardship. I am requesting a clear explanation for the second cancellation and the unauthorized refund process, which put me in a challenging financial position. I expect Airbnb to take responsibility for the inconvenience and unexpected costs this situation has caused. As a customer who values the Airbnb experience, I hope to see meaningful action taken to address this issue and provide appropriate compensation.
