Airbnb Denies Refunds for Cancellations Based on Pandemic Stay at Home Orders

It’s a shame to see companies putting profits above people’s lives.

AirBnB’s argument, that guest’s should “know the risks of booking during a pandemic” could easily be turned around on AirBnB/hosts, who “should accept the risks of operating during a pandemic”.

It’s a terrible situation for everyone involved, but I think the person trying to do the responsible thing, by adhering to local guidelines, shouldn’t be punished for it.
