I feel I need to share what happened so others don't go through the same. I was kicked out of my Airbnb after the host and building manager accused me of things I didn't do. They even called the police on me. The police searched me publicly, which was super embarrassing, but I had nothing to hide. I followed all the house rules, yet I was still singled out. It was clear to me that it was because I'm a young Black woman.
Other guests, who were older and white, weren't questioned, even though the smell of cannabis was everywhere. After the police left, Airbnb canceled my reservation without even asking for my side. I was left with nowhere to stay and no support. I paid for 16 nights but only stayed for 9. They owe me over £1,000, and I haven't seen a penny. Airbnb hasn't even reached out to fix this.
This whole thing was really upsetting. I trusted Airbnb to be fair and safe, but they let me down big time. No one should go through what I did.
