Host cacelled my booking
Host cancelled my booking the evening before my stay, we were travelling to attend my Fathers Funeral. They offered no apology, offered me alternative dates with no explanation as to why they didnt have the dates id booked for. If you want to be assured that your trip is secure, dont boom with this host.
