Cancelled hours before arrival: a guest's Airbnb stay
A guest wrote this in a comment under the Facebook post, in the Surfers Paradise community. The full comment is shown below.
What happened
The guest stayed at the Airbnb run by the couple in Story 1, arriving in April. A few hours before arrival, the booking was cancelled on them, and they felt they had no other choice.
In their words, Joshua was "pretty threatening" towards them, and made them feel "super uncomfortable". In their experience, the couple are not great people to deal with.
They cut their stay short, and lost a lot of money.
Ilse replied to the comment, thanked them for speaking up, and asked if she could message them.
