So, I goofed up and booked the wrong place on Airbnb. Realized my mistake in no time and canceled it within 15 minutes. Thought I’d get my money back since I didn’t mess up anyone’s plans. But nope, Airbnb stuck to the host’s strict policy and wouldn't refund me. I mean, I get it, rules are rules, but come on, it was an honest mistake! I tried reaching out to customer service, expecting a bit of understanding or at least a human touch. Instead, I got a cold, scripted reply. As someone who’s used Airbnb for ages, this whole experience left me feeling let down. Seriously, Airbnb, a bit of flexibility could go a long way in keeping loyal customers happy.
