This company needs to be sorted out. They are an absolute disgrace. They have blocked my account – also those of people I know – without giving any reason whatsoever. They are disrespectful and unprofessional. I am actively boycotting them and encourage everyone to do the same. Here was a message I received from Airbnb customer service:
Hi Jon,

As previously mentioned, we regret to inform you that we’ll be unable to support your account moving forward, and have exercised our discretion under our Terms of Service to disable your account(s).

Thanks, Alex.
And my response:
Dear Alex,
First of all, please refer to me as Mr. ___. I certainly do not know you and I expect to be respected. How on earth can you possibly think this is the correct etiquette in business and moreover, customer service? I will do my utmost to pass onto everyone I know to boycott your company as you are unwilling to provide an answer to my questions. There are many more companies that provide the same service as you do, that are of no concern to me. But I will be contacting the ombudsman and also look into contacting the CEO of Airbnb. This situation cannot be accepted and I will not tolerate such unprofessionalism and disrespect.
Hi,I’m having a awful experience with them for five weeks now. A group of teenagers destroyed my house. They have not replied to airbnb. So I am claiming off them. They have put down phon,sent links that don’t open, people who can’t speak English. Think they are trying to stop me or put me off claiming. I have sent photos of all the damages and still no money. They claimed they pay for damages if guest’s don’t but they are giving me a nervous breakdown. They actually told me I should be reviewing guests but I thought that’s what they did when guests apply to book on their site. Seriously dissatisfied know how you feel. Tony
