| Aug 4, 2023 at 6:55 | comment | added | gsamaras | @Crazydre I agree with you and all the others contributors here. Unfortunately the host "threatened" my gf that the cancellation must be made quickly in the interest of the refund (which was a lie since we had months until the free cancellation option was due). Gf panicked, I was at work and couldn't talk at that moment, and my gf cancelled on our end. Now of course the host updated their calendar as jcaron predicted. The host contacted my gf via telephone, so I don't have any evidence (apart from our booking and our cancellation) to report her to Airbnb now. :/ | |

Duplicate of Why would an Airbnb host ask me to cancel my request to book their Airbnb, instead of declining that request themselves? | |

| Aug 2, 2023 at 15:04 | comment | added | jcaron | Beware: in some cases you get a full refund of the amount paid to the host, but no refund of the AirBnb service fee. Point the host to what AirBnb says. If they didn’t want to accept bookings this far in advance it’s up to them to correctly set up their calendar (they probably just “forgot” to hike prices for that period…). | |
