My wife, sons and I planned a trip to Hawaii in March 2020. Due to COVID everything was canceled.
We re-booked our trip for 2022-2023 with a departure date of December 30th. Our accommodations were a condo through Airbnb that we booked in August. Early last week (December 20th) our host verified our flight information, etc. via email.
Our friends had similar plans with a departure on December 23rd. Due to bad weather in the Seattle area their flights, and plans as a result, were canceled.
We checked our email to see if there was any information about our flights. Instead we saw a December 23rd email from our Airbnb host saying he could no longer accommodate our stay and he had requested a refund of our money. We panicked. One week before our departure and our accommodations are canceled? All the email replies we sent to the host have not received a response.
Now we are scrambling to find a place to stay. I'm reminded of the Seinfeld episode about the rental car. Airbnb knows how to take reservations, but actually honoring them.....
I know these are first world problems and people are dealing with far worse situations. But, this is annoying me at the moment.
