We are sorry to hear that the complainant is disappointed in our response.
We regret any inconvenience that this process may have caused.
Airbnb responded on January 30, 2017 with:
 
'I apologize if I am not explaining our policies clearly for you. Here is a direct link to our Guest Refund Policy you may view.Guest Refund Policy [redacted]With this policy we require documentation, such as communication in the Airbnb message thread, photographs taken, or other official documents to support the guest claim.When a guest has a concern about their reservation, we require the guest to message the host in the Airbnb message thread so it is documented and to contact Airbnb 24 hours from the claim.When these steps are followed, we can quickly and efficiently support a guest claim as it is aligned with our Host Standards.More about our Host Standards [redacted]When we receive a claim either during a reservation or in a resolution center case, we will require documentation from the claim maker to align with the above policies. If we do not have any supportive documentation, we cannot process the request.Since we do not have supportive documentation about the amenity issue with the hot tub or the wifi, I cannot process your refund request.I want to prevent future claims like this from happening again and have educated [redacted] about our policies, proper steps to collect additional fees to prevent future claims from happening.'
 
Additionally, Airbnb offered a $150 coupon for future use.
 
Best,

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/09/21) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Airbnb emailed me saying they has issued the refund for the [redacted] reservation. They refunded me an additional $90. This however, is not the amount reflected in the actual receipt. Airbnb is looking at the amount I originally paid to say in a listing, not the difference between that amount and the cost of the listing I ended up staying in (which I only did because I was assured I would be refunded the difference). I was charged an additional $508 to stay in the second listing, the North Beach Flat, I was then refunded $173 by Airbnb, which left a $335 difference. On September 16th I was refunded an additional $90. I am still left with a difference of $245. I am happy to resolve this issue with "a full refund of the difference in pricing," as the customer service representative stated she was giving me in her email on Sept.16; that full difference would be an additional $245.

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:
The business did not resolve the case at all.  They refused to review the communication from my guests ([redacted] and [redacted] stayed together and [redacted] responded to my review and denied everything).  I explained to them from the start that I was uncomfortable continuing to ask for money from someone who denies the case, but expect the full fi[redacted]cial resolution as I submitted clear pictures of the damages incurred. Sincerely,[redacted]

There is no resolution in the response from Airbnb. It is jsut saying that they are looking into the matter and need more time to properly assess the claim. I can only respond once they look into the matter and reply accordingly.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Several days later I have not heard from airbnb and I have to refuse this resolution as they have not upheld their commitment in their response, let alone resolved the issue.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 11, 2015/06/09) */
A final resolution has been reached. After reviewing this case, a refund cannot be granted.
We have reached out to the complainant privately confirming the final resolution.
Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 13, 2015/06/10) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The response simply states that the business accepts no responsibility for the lack of protections for the customers of their service. That is not an acceptable response as I've offered a very fair middle ground resolution of the $700 refund, not the full amount that I paid for the stay at the filthy property. I would like them to stop digging their heels in with an explanation of "because we said so" and consider the facts of the case. If the property were in fact what was represented, we would not have left to stay at hotels at significant additional expense. That they requested pictures is true, but pictures are only one form of proof. Our actions and the lack of additional methods for recourse or investigation are grossly negligent of the protections that should be afforded to their paying customers.

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:
 
Before I closed my complaints I wanted complete written documentations from AirBnb that
 
the lease terminated March 21st and I  don't owe them anymore money  and I won't get contacted
 
again . Once I get the letter from [redacted] ( manager ) of above concerned and she is working 
 
on us getting some refund   then I will be willing to close the complaints.
 
 I'm so thankful for Revdex.com for helping us with this coz we know , without you getting involved
 
customer like us get victimized and traumatized by this company , which supposed to be
 
their number goal is customer safety and customer satisfactions .
 
Again thank you so much for Revdex.com for protecting people like me.

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:
 
I have NOT received ANY response from AirBNB, much less a satisfactory one. I challenge Airbnb to provide the Revdex.com with a copy of any communication they have sent me, as there has been none. I have also filed a complaint with the CA Attorneys General.

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because: this is exactly what Airbnb does... close case, not engage in any reasonable conversation about what they are colluding in an illegal practice.
I guess they want to force a court case and they will now get one. I will see if I can organize a class action ... really damaging for a reputation. but I tried to avoid that. Sincerely,[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Upon receipt of a request for Arbitration, Airbnb credited my account for all outstanding transactions requested. However, they still have not provided ample evidence to back up their original monetary claims against me.Until Airbnb updates its Terms of Service to fully document their currently unwritten expectations regarding guest privacy within Shared and Private rooms, they have not fully resolved this issue and this complaint will reflect as such.

They did not resolve the matter. Completely unsatisfied.
They promise to offer the professional servises, but there is no servises beyond posting your property. Very scared to deal with this company since if you are robbed or killed during hosting they will just brush you off and shut you down.
BEAWARE!!!
