Abnb refunded guests without taking into consideration the owners T&C's and without even informing the owners that they refunded guests and leaving many hosts in desperate situations.

Steve, thank you.
I know this may not have been great for the owners but as a renter this makes me more inclined to book through them with the owners that survive.
Unfortunately the likes of these companies have got too big but they will continue to attract renters after this. I have actively avoided them in the past but will think twice now.
Obviously, there has been more than enough glowing posts about how you have looked after your guests so are probably the exception to the rule!
