Host didn’t tell us there was ongoing construction starting at 6:30am [guest] [USA]
We showed up to the property at check in time at 4pm and the host said oh by the way you will need to wake up at 6:30am to move your car tomorrow because they’ve been doing construction on the road in front of the house and they close the road off. We asked how long he’s known about this and he says a few weeks.
He admitted there was nothing in the listing about it and his house is “nice” so he won’t give us a refund. I got his admittance of knowing and failing to tell us, official documentation from the government stating they were doing construction that day and time, and photos of the site since the workday stops at 3 and we missed that day.
The host was an asshole and lives in the house so we didn’t feel safe sleeping under the same roof and decided to go home. We also couldn’t afford a last minute hotel in an expensive city on top of the cost of the air b and b.
Air b and b told us to take photos of the construction so we did. Then they said get official documentation of the construction so we did. Now they’re saying we need to take a video at 6:30am which obviously we can’t do.
They keep asking for more and more, and I feel like even if we did have the video they’d ask for something more. We’re trying to dispute the charges on a credit card but we booked this back in February.
We don’t know what else to do. The listing promised a “quiet and relaxing neighborhood” which obviously is not true. The host knew this and didn’t tell us at any point or update his listing. Does anyone have any advice?
