I planned properly and booked a long term stay with Air Bnb. Within the first few days I noticed dogs in the area that the owner was aware of. The dogs constantly growled and my sons and the last straw was when one of the dogs jumped on my car leaving scratches. I just purchased my car in September. I advised AirBnb of the issue. While the trip was protected by AirCover, the representatives at AirBnb chose to make their own rules. i was due a full refund and they only provided a partial in which I am still awaiting. They are also obligated to provide me with a comparable or better property. They dropped the ball which forced myself and my two minor children to have to pay out of pocket for a room with money that was meant to feed my children with. I am now homeless as the hotel has no vacancies tonight. I also do not have money to afford a room as I am still awaiting my $1K refund. AirBnb is not responsive, they also refuse to let me speak with management. I am a disabled vet and I didnt serve my country to be mistreated by its citizens.Business Response

On 1/13/23, I booked a home through Airbnb. The cancellation policy was full refund within 24 hours; partial refund by 2/17/23. I did not purchase additional insurance. My friends from NY had to cancel their flights and are no longer visiting ********. The Airbnb website was difficult to navigate to find exact terms of refund / cancellation policy. On 2/6/23, I contacted both the host and Airbnb to request a later booking in March, but unable to rebook at that time as I waiting for my friends to rebook their flights to ********. Around 9:00pm on 2/6/23, I cancelled the reservation. The following morning on 2/7/23, I learned that my despots of $443 would not be refunded. Since I cannot afford to lose $443, I asked to reinstate reservation. I see that the property is still available to rent this morning (for travel 2/24/23 - 2/26/23) but Airbnb would not reinstate the reservation less than 12 hours after my cancellation. This is poor business practice, unfair and just greedy.Business Response

Airbnb cancelled my overseas reservation on the day of my arrival during carnaval, one of the busiest seasons in **************. Given this last minute cancellation, it is impossible to find a stay of similar quality for the same price, in the area that I had planned to stay.I literally took a 15 hour flight today and was unable to converse with anyone from Airbnb when they claimed to have called me at 8am.Despite this late cancellation, all Airbnb offered me instead was a full refund and an Airbnb coupon for $113.They wouldnt confirm that they could find me a stay in a similar location, with a similar quality, and they wouldnt give me more money to find a comparable stay in the same area. I find this offering absolutely insulting and I am completely unsatisfied by this poor service.I believe that they should not only offer me the full refund, but several hundred dollars in cash to cover the fact that I had no place to stay last night, nor from the rest of my stay from 2/8-2/20, and the fact that I do not want to use their service and would like to instead find a hotel in a similar area.Whats more, after all this, theyre still charging me $71.89, for what reason I have no idea!This is completely unfair and ridiculous.Business Response

I had booked an Airbnb from January 28th- 30th of 2023 in ***************, ****. On the evening of the 28th, we arrived to check in to find that our rental was completely occupied by another guest. We could have been attacked or even worse killed. It was late at night and 16 degrees outside. We spent 3 hours searching for additional accommodations and had issues as all the lodges and hotels were completely booked. I went through the Airbnb app again and blew a new host up at late hours to beg for accommodations. This host was nice enough to make something happened. Unfortunately, this air ***** was more expensive and for less time than our original reservation. It was nothing that we wanted but were forced to book due to no other accommodations.Since the 28th, I have been receiving sub par customer service from **********************. Days of being ignored, refusal to make it right. Ive been hung up on and have had agents refuse to talk to me. They refunded the first reservation, promised to reimburse for perishables we bought from the grocery store and to provide half of the second airbnbs total for compensation efforts. I have to receive both those refunds and keep getting ignored when asked about them. This experience with Airbnb has been extremely traumatic. The amount of time and effort this taken from me will never be given back. All I wanted was for air ***** to cover the second stay as it was not the comfort we had expected and the hassle that was caused dealing with all of this. I have days of chats with Airbnb as well. I want them them to cover the full Amount of the second Airbnb.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because the host is going to change the locks before the guests are back from work and can't move their belonging before that.
Host:
"If the belongings are not removed by 5 pm today. I will be changing the locks and calling the local authorities"
Airbnb-guest:
"Ok well I'm at work until 530 can you contact her and say it will be out by 6pm and this is absolutely ridiculous
Can you let me know what they say because if they touch my stuff it's going to be a HUGE issue"
At this point, I'm going to reach out also to local media

I am rejecting this response because:
1) One of Airbnb rep ******* called me and told me that I cancel the booking from my side and I told him few times that it isn't the case.
2) I inform the airbnb Host about the people who going to show up prior their arrival and the host agreed to have them in her messages through Airbnb.
3) Few hours later the host asked me to pay her another $50 for additional guest (that's what she claimed).
4) There was a noise coming from the first floor. After I complained to the host, she decided that the current guests can't stay and she is going to call the police and having them removing them ( She left me a voicemail).
5) The host can't agree to have guests and few hours later saying that it is against the policy. Once she approved them, she can't do whatever she wants and also removing them and keep the money.
6) I spoke with board of health and the city about this unit, this illegal airbnb unit that violate the zoning laws. The host can't rent out this unit for short term rental + she never did fire inspection as required by law.
7) The support from Airbnb was a joke. Different people answering and saying different things

Confirmation Code: HMPBEQDZFW MON JAN 9-FRI JAN 13 - ****** euros My friend (**************, the primary ******) and I had a booking through Airbnb that when we arrived had an extreme black mold infestation in the walls of the kitchen and bathroom. Immediately after arriving to the property, we started experiencing respiratory symptoms but did not realize the cause of them until our fourth night there when we opened the kitchen cabinets under the sink and were assaulted with the strong smell of black mold originating in a leak within the walls. At this time we reached out to our host whom pretended to be helping but in fact did nothing to remedy the situation and now both he and Airbnb are refusing to issue a refund for an unlivable property despite this problem being covered by Aircover. We reported the situation within 72 hrs per Airbnb's terms despite scrambling to find new accommodation and restructure our entire holiday due to the change in budget from being required to book something new last minute. After realizing the host was not being helpful in the situation, we checked for new reviews posted for the property after our booking date and found 2 others stating the same problem and unlivable conditions and the host has done nothing to remedy it and is still booking out new people for this dangerous property. Airbnb has also refused to refund us even though our situation is covered by their insurance policy in part because we were unable to take pictures of the inside of the wall even though they had refunded someone else with the same problem that we experienced. They have additionally allowed this unsafe property to remain live on their site despite multiple reports of its unlivable conditions. We need a full refund for this unsafe accommodation rather than the partial refund they are offering where we pay nearly 200 euros for 4 nights in a hazardous home.Business Response

I had a trip planned to ** to see friends.. I spend over 300 booking a room for 4 nights. My uncle died and unfortunately my plans have changed. I was only given a 66 dollar refund. I canceled over 3 weeks early so any money the air b and b was out they would be able to make anyway. I contacted customer service that was rude and unprofessional and "broke" their own rules by asking the Host for a refund. I have proof of this. I called the **** number and they refused to offer and help or reimbursement. Then hung up on me. This company runs scams and that is clear by how my situation was handled. I was scammed out of my money by something I didn't even k ow upon booking and scammed into their insurance. I want my money back. This is beyond disgusting treatment to someone who's lost a loved One. What a greedy company.Business Response

The Airbnb business is a complete joke. They said I was associated with someone who was blocked from using airbnb now I am locked out. They advised this person has a criminal background when in fact they do not. They work for the postal service how would they get a job a government facility with a record. Two Ive rented from Airbnb before with no problems. I dont have a record. Nor am I associated with this person. You guys are a joke and I cannot wait until this is taking off the market. Three they never gave me a chance to speak to someone regarding the situation. They just sent another email and said sorry we cant do nothing. I will never book with Airbnb and I will tell everyone I know to never ever book with them again. Its called word of mouthBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: They closed my case without giving me a chance to give my response. And locked me out for further bookings. I cant continue to work with a team that didnt even have time to help. This is why I reached out to the BBB because I was not getting help via phone or email. Please check the attachments I added.
