        1. Fun fact: Did you know that AirBnb charges you tax *again* if you rebook a cheaper room? And doesn’t offer to refund the extra money?

        If your host cancels on you last minute, and you scramble to book a cheaper room they not only charge you taxes again…

      …but they don’t refund you the difference between your original booking and the new one.

    And worse, their credit offered is so pitifully small it basically doesn’t make a difference ($15/night)

      So here’s the problem: AirBnb is now refunding me the tax they just charged me again for some reason. This is all very confusing.

        I’m out $0, but 2 hours of my time and lots of stress. This would have been much easier if they had an automatic rebooking system.

          Just click “rebook me” and it’ll automatically try to get you a new room at no cost in the same ‘hood. That isn’t hard to make.
