The traveller is penalised the full price of the stay if they cancel late. Why is the host not penalised the same amount (which would then be credited to the traveller as compensation)?
- rhizome 7y agoBecause they're playing the bagman for AirBnB.
- mancerayder 7y agoWithout the hosts, there's no product, less product, less fees, or pretty listings to flout in marketing. The availability of affordable and decent listings in Paris is testament how badly they need the existing hosts. Who, by the way, are limited by regulations that limit the number of days a host can list per year, as well as tax registration requirements. None of which I'm complaining about; it's just another factor that makes me predict the situation with quality and honest listings will go down.

- alistairSH 7y agoHow does the overbooking occur? Are you using multiple services and then managing across services manually?
