One of my guest initiated the cancellation after staying with my place for 7 days out of her 11 day booking, because she is not happy about the laundry situation. Airbnb deducted half of the her payment from my account, even when i wrote and called them that i am not accepting that. And the most funny thing is, they asked me if it is ok for the guest to move out by 9pm (they were saying that the guest is asking), i agreed, then later the guest said she didn't agree that. And the guest didn't move out by 9PM, as a matter of fact, i followed up with email and phone call again to ask Airbnb to take care of it, then finally the guest moved out around 10PM. I called and emailed them one more time that i will not accept the way they split the payment, they deduct that money from another payment anyway.
Then they emailed me saying that they will pay me $39 for making up the late move out of the guest, and guess what, later they paid $10 to my account.
I was so surprised that as big as Airbnb could be, they can do something like this, email you one thing, and do another thing, just like everything they said is like a fart, counts nothing.
Every time i call, they said their case manager will call me back, but they never did. This happened 4 times within last 2 days.
I am wondering: 1) Is it legal that they deduct host's money without host's consent? 2) They are so bold that they can commit one thing to you, and do the totally different.
Is there anyone can help?
Thanks
