      Transaction The transaction was paid for on November 9, 2024. The AirBnB experience was to be done on February 7. The transaction amount was for $455.88. Business Commitment The business committed to providing my group and I an experience with a host, where the service provided by the host would be accurate to the description they provide. Dispute The dispute is that throughout the whole time through booking, my group and I (total 4 people) expected the experience to be private. Meaning only our group would be with the host. Throughout all of the experience, there was no indication that the experience would be public, at no point during checkout does it say that there would be. There was also no service provided, once we found out that the experience was public, we refused service because it was not what was advertised to us.Failed to resolve AirBnb has been contacted multiple times but they have refused to refund the service. When asking for proof that the listing says it is public, they end up closing the chat and saying that the issue has been decided and that they have an outcome already. This has happened multiple times, and they are refusing to help.

      We appreciate the time youve taken to share your concerns with our team. Upon investigation we found that our claims/resolution/safety team has already issued their final decision on this matter. Please refer to our direct correspondence on (Feb 17, 2025).

      Hello Mahdokht,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

      Upholding the policies and standards that protect our community is very important to us. Weve given your case and its details careful consideration, and we determined that this is the final decision.

      We understand that this might not be what youd hoped for, but we came to this outcome because we are able to confirm that the booking type of your experience is public, with a maximum number of guests are 10 in total.

      As much as I'd love to process the refund for you, since the Host has not given me the authorization to process any refund, I won't be able to proceed.

      As your Support Ambassador, my goal is to make sure that you get the best experience without compromising the policies we have in place. I understand that it's a bit disheartening at this point, however, we are bound to abide by certain regulations.

      To know more about experience details you can visit our help center:
      ******************************************************

      Our decision has been made, after we relentlessly communicate this problem to your Host. I know this is not the resolution you're looking for and we at Airbnb apologize on that behalf. Our review is complete now, and we wont be able to offer additional support on this case at this time.

      During booking there is no indication that the listing is public, and that there can/will be more guests.   

      Is there any proof that the experience is listed as public?  Because in every page during the booking process, there is no indication of this. I have screenshots showing that do not show public anywhere in the listing.

      I would like my money back because we were misled during the booking process by there not being anything saying it is a public experience.

She also blatantly copy and pasted their response to a different person and called me Zayne, As you have also just blatantly copy and pasted it without reading it.

      Airbnb has either connected or combined two different accounts. They have given myself and another person access to the account using my phone number but the other persons email and name. Now we can both see each others personal data including my checking account information and her credit card information. The other person saw a trip I booked 10 months ago on my own account suddenly showing on her account and asked for it to be canceled because she thought it was fraud. When we figured out what happened, I was out a place to stay for my sons graduation and $1500. Airbnb promised a full refund as did the host but then decided that I didnt qualify for a refund even though they understood that I didnt not cancel the trip. I am now disputing the charge on my credit card with the proof of the promise of a full refund. My biggest issue at this point is that Airbnb knows that this account is compromised and refused to delete my checking account information from the account. Both myself and the person whose name shows on the account have made this request numerous times and they will not delete the information or give us the ability to delete it unless we add another account. As you can imagine, this is not acceptable to either of us. They clearly do not keep personal data private and we do not want to give them more information. We want my account information deleted so that we can then delete the compromised account but not until we know that my data is safe.

      Between January 3 and April 16, 2024, I paid Airbnb a total of $11,917.12 for a long-term stay in ****************. Upon arrival, the unit was not clean or safe. There were undisclosed house rules, suspicious ceiling-mounted devices, and a Ring antenna plugged into a private outlet. After I reported these concerns and left the unit, the host filed a false damage claim for a minor couch scratch that occurred during my stay and was acknowledged weeks earlier, yet was used against me after my departure.I provided evidence to Airbnb of proactive attempts to repair the scratch (ordered a patch kit on March 23, 2024) and documented the concerning environment. Despite this, Airbnb closed my case without a refund and allowed the hosts retaliation to stand.Airbnbs communication was inconsistent, and they prematurely closed the support ticket, violating their own dispute resolution process. This situation caused emotional distress and financial loss during a medical *********** seeking accountability for the hosts deceptive practices, Airbnbs failure to protect guests, and the refund I am rightfully owed.

      I do not accept the response provided. Airbnb already has access to this reservation and host information internally, but to avoid further delays, Im supplying the requested details again:

      Reservation Code 1: HMK4SC84PA
      Reservation Code 2: HMCRSYHRYP
      Name on Airbnb Account: [Insert your name or initials]
      Dates of Stay: January 3 April 16, 2024
      Host Name: **** Rising
      Property Management Company: Hoste (acting as co-manager or intermediary for the host)

      This complaint involves serious unresolved concerns including privacy violations (suspected surveillance devices), undisclosed house rules, and a retaliatory false damage claim after $11,917.12 in payments. **** Rising explicitly directed us to contact him for issues, but Airbnbs records will show Hoste was involved in communications, check-in/out coordination, and post-stay follow-up.

      Airbnbs claim that they cannot locate this case is inconsistent with the evidence already submitted internally. Please confirm receipt of this information and proceed with a full and transparent review.

      This will be my final word on this matter.

       

      All documentation and correspondence were submitted in good faith. I remained cooperative and thorough throughout, despite receiving vague responses and no written resolution from Airbnb. Their failure to meaningfully engage only confirmed the concerns I raised.

       

      So Ill end with this:

       

      In the end, doing whats right is easier than defending whats wrong.

       

       

      I understand this may be edited to fit BBB policy, but I ask that the tone and quote remain intact if possible.

       

       

      I will not be responding further.

      Im filing a complaint due to a false review left by a host on Airbnb that includes objectively untrue claims about how I left the apartment. I submitted clear video evidence proving the apartment was clean and undamaged upon departure. However, Airbnb still allowed the false review to remain on my profile.Worse, during my first dispute attempt, the Airbnb system did not allow me to upload the video. I was instructed to submit the video separately, which counted as a second dispute attempt. By the time I followed all instructions, Airbnb closed my case, stating I had exceeded the dispute limit even though my second attempt was due to a technical issue on their platform.This review is now harming my ability to book future stays, as other hosts see it and assume Im a bad guest. Ive repeatedly asked Airbnb to confirm whether anyone has reviewed the video evidence in full, but they have yet to confirm this.I believe this is unfair treatment, and Im seeking a full review of the video evidence and removal of the review if its proven false.

      Complaint: 23283640

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Thank you for your response, but it does not address the core concern I raised in my original complaint.

      This is not simply about a denied appeal it is about a host submitting a false and retaliatory review, and Airbnb failing to properly evaluate the clear evidence I provided to dispute it.
      The host claimed I left stains on the TV cabinet and used five towels both of which are objectively false. The time-stamped video I submitted clearly shows the TV cabinet was spotless, and the apartment only had two towels, not five. These are not opinions they are verifiable facts that directly contradict what was written.
      The host also seemed upset about my delayed arrival, which was due to circumstances outside my control. I was solo traveling from ***** while extremely sick. I communicated my delay to the host as soon as I could, but despite that, the review reads as emotional and retaliatory rather than factual or fair.
      More importantly, no one at Airbnb has confirmed that my video evidence was ever thoroughly reviewed. Ive repeatedly asked for someone to describe what they saw in the footage and how it aligns with the hosts claims. Instead, Ive received only vague statements that the evidence was "acknowledged" which is not the same as actually reviewing it in detail.
      Ive seen the response I received within Airbnbs platform and the reason Im filing this complaint with the Better Business Bureau is because I feel the responses Im getting are scripted, impersonal, and coming from outsourced customer service agents who likely have no authority to act on this situation. This has led to a frustrating loop of template replies, with no one truly reviewing the evidence or addressing the facts.
      To make matters worse, my first dispute attempt didnt allow for video upload due to a system limitation. When I submitted the video separately, I was told that counted as my second and final dispute attempt essentially punishing me for a technical barrier on Airbnbs side.
      I am now requesting the following:
      That a qualified team member thoroughly reviews the video evidence I submitted.
      That I receive written confirmation that the footage was reviewed.
      That Airbnb reassesses whether the hosts claims are consistent with what is actually shown in the video.
      Airbnbs Review Policy states that reviews must be truthful, unbiased, and based on actual experiences. This review fails to meet those standards. Allowing it to remain, without verifying the evidence submitted in good faith, undermines the trust that guests place in Airbnbs platform.
      I am not asking for special treatment only for a fair and transparent review process, and for Airbnb to uphold the integrity of its own policies.
      Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

      Complaint: 23283640

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Thank you for the update, but this response is unacceptable.


      Airbnbs latest reply is a verbatim copy of their previous message and does not acknowledge or address any of the specific points I raised in my detailed follow-up. I provided new information, including factual inaccuracies in the hosts review, time-stamped video evidence that disproves those claims, and concerns about the integrity of Airbnbs review process.


      This kind of response only reinforces my concern: that my case has not been handled with care or transparency. I asked for confirmation that my video was thoroughly reviewed, not just acknowledged, and I received no such confirmation. Instead, I was met with another scripted reply from what appears to be an outsourced support agent with no authority to resolve this fairly.


      I am again asking that this case be escalated to someone at Airbnb with the authority to review the evidence, provide a specific response to the claims in the video, and assess the hosts review in light of that evidence.


      If Airbnb is unwilling to engage in good faith, I will continue to pursue additional legal and consumer advocacy options.

      Complaint Against: Airbnb, Inc.Nature of Complaint: Unfair review handling Retaliatory and coercive guest review not removed Dear Better Business Bureau,I am filing a formal complaint against Airbnb regarding their refusal to remove a clearly retaliatory and coercive review left by a guest for my listing. Despite providing evidence that the review violated Airbnbs own Review Policyincluding elements of pressure, coercion, and biasAirbnb declined to take action.Key Details:Reservation Code: HM8HY2B5X2 Guest's Review (Public): "Not at all satisfied. The worst night."Guest's Private Message: It's not good at all. I even want to complain. Is there no refund option?The guest refused every attempt we made to resolve their concern during their stay and only replied after checkout, requesting a refund. They ignored multiple offers of live assistance and later used the review to express dissatisfaction after declining helpwhile also leaving the unit in disarray (alcohol odor, linens and towels thrown on the floor, spilled noodles in the dishwasher).The review appears to have been posted to pressure us for a refund rather than to reflect an honest experience, violating Airbnbs Review Policy, which prohibits coercion and retaliatory content. Despite sharing detailed records (message history, photos, timeline), Airbnb responded by only linking to their policy page without explaining how the review complied with it. They refused to address the substance of our appeal or provide clarification, and closed the case without discussion.Why I'm Reaching Out:Im requesting the BBBs help to encourage Airbnb to reevaluate the case fairly and transparently. As a responsible host with a 4.9+ rating over 135+ stays, this review significantly misrepresents the guests experience and appears motivated by refund pressure rather than honesty. Airbnbs refusal to apply or explain its own rules undermines confidence in the platforms review system and fairness.

      This is your Senior Case Manager from Airbnb team.
      Hope this message finds you well. I hope you are safe and
      fine.

      I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, however,
      upholding the policies and standards that protect our
      community is very important to us. Weve given your case and
      its details careful consideration, and we determined that
      review has already been shared with the specialized team two
      times, and they have given the outcome, and we cannot turn
      over that decision hence we are unable to remove that
      review.

      I hope that you understand that if there was anything that I
      could do, I could have done it right away without any
      hesitation.

      Our review is complete now, and we wont be able to offer
      additional support on this case at this time.

      Since, there is nothing more that I can do from my end.

      I'm going ahead and closing this case.

      Dear BBB and Airbnb,
      Thank you for the response.
      However, I would like to address a factual inaccuracy in Airbnbs reply. The statement that my case has been reviewed twice by the specialized team is incorrectthere has only been one formal review. This misrepresentation is concerning, particularly as it was used to justify closing the case and denying further support.
      As long-standing hosts with over 135 reviews and a 4.9-star rating, we are deeply disappointed that Airbnb has chosen to allow a clearly retaliatory and biased review to remaindespite clear indications in the private guest comments that their intent was to pressure us into a refund by threatening our reputation.
      We take pride in maintaining a high standard of hospitality. It's frustrating and disheartening to see Airbnbs system dismiss host concerns so easily, especially when such behavior by guests not only violates the spirit of fair reviews but undermines the entire platforms credibility.
      We respectfully request that Airbnb conduct a proper, factual review of the case, and reconsider its decision. Hosts like us are essential to Airbnbs success, and our trust in the platform depends on fair and consistent treatment.
      Sincerely,v

      To the **********************,

Rather than addressing the factual errors in their responseparticularly my correction that the case was only reviewed oncethey instead submitted a generic suggestion link as if this were a product idea rather than a formal complaint supported by evidence.
      This approach is not only evasive, but it also reflects an arrogant disregard for accountability. My original complaint was clear: I provided direct evidence that a guest review was coercive, retaliatory, and in violation of Airbnbs Review Policy. I did not ask for new featuresI requested a fair review, a policy-based explanation, and transparent reasoning for Airbnbs decision to allow a harmful and dishonest review to remain.
      By repeatedly sidestepping the issue and falsely claiming multiple case reviews, Airbnb has demonstrated a complete unwillingness to engage in good faith, leaving hosts like me with no meaningful recourse within their platform.
      I respectfully request that the BBB note Airbnbs pattern of non-response and misrepresentation, and that this case be documented as unresolved. Hosts deserve to be treated with fairness and respect, and to have valid concerns taken seriouslynot dismissed through scripted deflection.

This has been on a monthly basis, and I have paid approximately $800 per month, totaling nearly $10,000 over the past year.During a recent trip to *********** from April 19 to April 20, 2025, I had a negative experience with one of my Airbnb bookings. I contacted Airbnb Support, and on April 20, 2025, I received a message from an Airbnb Community Support representative named ****, who offered a resolution. That resolution included:A $35 partial refund issued to my ****** account A 50% discount coupon to be used toward a future Airbnb reservation The written message from Airbnb Support specifically stated:On top of your partial Refund, I will provide worth of %50 coupon for you can use for your future reservation.I have saved a screenshot of this message for reference and proof.However, when I attempted to use the coupon, Airbnb later informed me that the discount would not be honored. They claimed it was a mistake, said it only applied to a past reservation, and then closed the case despite the fact that their support team clearly stated it was for a future booking.I find this behavior unethical and misleading. This is not a miscommunication it was a written commitment made by an official Airbnb support representative during a service resolution. Airbnbs refusal to honor that promise shows a lack of accountability and disregard for loyal, long-term customers like **** am seeking that ********************** honor the 50% discount coupon as originally promised in writing. I have spent close to $10,000 on their platform over the past year, and this lack of follow-through is both unprofessional and unacceptable.

      Upholding the policies and standards that protect our

      its details careful consideration, and we determined that as
      the promised was made for the reservation HME54KM2EB as a
      50% of this reservation which you can use the Coupon for
      your future reservations.

      We understand that this might not be what youd hoped for,
      but we came to this outcome because I have checked and
      investigated over the case and I am sorry to informed you
      the request of yours cannot be process of 50% of the
      reservation that is ongoing we cannot process that as per
      the Airbnb policy.

      Our review is complete now, and we wont be able to offer

      Thank you for forwarding Airbnbs response. I am not satisfied with the outcome and would like the BBB to keep the case open.
      Airbnb is misrepresenting their own written communication. On April 20, 2025, I received a message from Airbnbs support agent clearly stating:
      On top of your partial Refund, I will provide worth of %50 coupon for you can use for your future reservation.
      That statement explicitly refers to a future reservation, not a discount on reservation HME54KM2EB. I have a screenshot proving this. Airbnb is now altering the context of their promise and refusing to take responsibility for their own agents commitment.
      I am a loyal customer who has spent nearly $10,000 over the past year, and I expected better accountability. I am moving forward with additional formal complaints and will consider legal action if this continues to go unresolved.
      Please keep this complaint open and on public record. I stand by my position.

      Airbnb made a written promise on April 20, 2025, through their support agent, to issue a 50% discount coupon for a future reservation. I have provided a screenshot of this message. Airbnb later refused to honor this coupon, falsely claiming it was related to a previous reservation. That claim contradicts their own written communication.
      This is now the second time they have deflected without directly addressing the broken promise. I believe Airbnb is deliberately trying to avoid accountability, and this behavior should be noted in their BBB public profile.
      I request that the BBB keep this case open as unresolved and mark it Business failed to address issue. I will be pursuing this matter through small claims court and additional legal channels if necessary.


      Sincerely,

      **** *****

      Complaint: 23279540

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I am not satisfied with Airbnb's latest response. Their claim that they are unable to locate a profile or reservation is completely false.

      Here are the details they already have:

       

      My full name: **** *****
      Reservation code: HME54KM2EB
      Email address used with Airbnb:******************************
      Booking location: ************************************

      Cell phone: ************


      Support case date: April 20, 2025
      On April 20, 2025, Airbnb support agent **** promised in writing a $35 refund (which was processed) and a 50% discount coupon for a future reservation (which was not honored). I have provided a screenshot of this message as evidence.
      Airbnb is now deflecting responsibility by pretending they dont have enough information despite already issuing the refund and referencing the reservation in earlier messages.
      I ask that this complaint remain open and be marked as Business failed to address issue if Airbnb continues refusing to resolve a clear and documented customer concern. I will be pursuing legal action next.

       

      Sincerely,

      **** *****

      I booked a reservation through Airbnb at a resort in *********. When we arrived (around 9 PM) with my two young daughters and elderly mother, we were told our room had been flooded and was no longer available. The host did not arrange alternative accommodations. We were left with no place to stay in the middle of the night during a major city event.With no affordable lodging options left, we had to drive four hours back home the same night a situation that was extremely distressing and dangerous, especially with small children. We incurred $280 in gas and food expenses, which I documented and shared with Airbnb support.Airbnb issued a refund and a small coupon, but repeatedly refused to reimburse these additional expenses or escalate my case, despite their failure to provide the service I paid for. I am requesting reimbursement of $280 to cover my direct out-of-pocket losses, which I believe is a fair and reasonable request under the circumstances.

      I booked an Airbnb stay from April 611, 2025 (Reservation HM5CBDHQNP) for a family vacation with my husband, toddler, and autistic child. We paid CA$1,748.69 for what was advertised as a private, secure, gated property. It was not.The gate was broken and wide open throughout the stay, with strangers constantly walking the street. There were no blinds on the large windows in the living room, kitchen, and dining area, leaving my family completely exposed. Most disturbing, there were undisclosed cameras pointed directly at the pool and hot tub area, where my toddler was regularly unclothed.The bed collapsed in the middle of the night while we were asleep. My husband had to fix it with tools. The toilet broke while he was using it, causing injury. Electrical issues were ongoing. The home was filthy and unsafe.We experienced a full power outage near the end of the stay, and with no working gate or cellular signal, we were forced to pack and flee the property in the dark. It was terrifying.I reported every issue to Airbnb from the start. I submitted photos, videos, and evidence. Despite that, I was passed between over 10 agents across multiple threads. Cases were closed, reopened, and delayed for weeks. Airbnb made me relive the trauma over and over. Their support process was negligent and dehumanizing.They eventually refunded 50% of the stay and reimbursed a hotel night. That doesnt undo the fact that the listing was misrepresented, unsafe, and Airbnb failed to intervene during the stay all violations of their own Guest Refund and AirCover policies.I am requesting a full refund of CA$1,748.69. Not a token gesture. Not a manipulated calculation. A full refund, as promised under the protections Airbnb advertises and failed to uphold.Supporting documentation available.This experience caused lasting distress to my family. Airbnbs refusal to take accountability made it worse.
