Something similar happened to me this last February: I had a 5 week rental in Baja Sur (Mexico). Due to a serious medical emergency (covid booster vaccine gave me ischemic lacunar stroke) I was hospitalized 2 days before my trip and hence had to cancel it. You can imagine, in the middle of the hospital brain fog and all, I just cancelled through the standard process without thinking twice.
Days later after I was stable and out of the hospital, I found out that the cancellation gave me back I think $200 usd of the around $2000 I had paid....
At some level I kind of felt it as abusive. But I'm sure there are enough small prints somewhere to which I agreed to that explain why it's OK. And given my health issue I decided not to worry about that (puts things in perspective haha). I was more sad that I had to cancel the vacation/trip my wife and I planned, due to that emergency.
- virtualwhys 5y agoThat's a bargain, $2k for 5 weeks in Baja Sur? I've been near Todos Santos since January and the prices on Airbnb are, frankly, ludicrous for monthly rentals. But then again that's the new normal, sky high rents everywhere. Hopefully the infection hasn't spread to India, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.
