AirB&B

Casey1709

So I booked an AirB&B in London last weekend. Sent hello message, no reply. Sent another and still no reply. Sent polite text on the day to check they were expecting me. Check in was from 4pm. Around 6.30 got a text saying I couldn't come as they only host females.


Complained to AirB&B who eventually refunded my money but still left me without accommodation (I ended up sleeping on a mate's floor).


AirB&B invited me to leave a review - but will only publish it if the host leaves a review for me.


Besides writing an anonymous post on here - what else could/ would you do?

Sue for gender discrimination?

I say sue them. My husband wanted to advertise our bungalow on air b&b because its near the river. I've decided not to having read this - I don't want to support a company that allows such discrimination.

You can only choose to have male or female only guests if its a room in someone’s house, rather than an entire property. It will be in the listing of this is the case.
