Worse is when your booking is confirmed but then cancelled a week before you go, at which point all the prices are much higher

- sabellito 2y agoInsane that they allow that. Maybe it's an option the host can set on the listing? Booking, as far as I know, straight up doesn't allow hosts to cancel. Recently, a host sent me a message begging me to cancel my booking because they really couldn't be there to receive me.
- marcandre 2y agoHosts can cancel, but they are subject to their cancelation penalties (according to the level they've chosen for guests) plus there is an automatic "review" added stating that "This host cancelled a booking X days in advance". Unless X is very big, I run away from those listings.
- sabellito 2y agoInteresting, good to know.
- chris1993 2y agoAirbnb hosts are penalised if they cancel - they get downrated - so it's not something that hosts generally want to do. Far better if they can persuade a guest to cancel
