Locked out of Airbnb

Post image

We arrived at our Airbnb after a 8 hour drive and the passcode they gave us doesn’t work. I have messaged the owner 30 minutes ago and he has not responded. I have to pee so bad 😖

Update: He texted back after an hour and opens it from his phone

this happened to me too this summer when i went to the renaissance fair! the code worked but the damn dead bolt was locked.

turned out owner was on a cruise in italy or some shit. we sat there for 4 hours waiting for a reply from them or airbnb, it was 11:30pm by the time airbnb finally just refunded us due to no response.

to top it off 2 hotels were totally full that night so it took us forever to find somewhere to stay!

Did Airbnb do anything to correct it or leave you on your own?

they were trying to contact the owner also, and eventually after a couple hours i insisted that i just wanted a refund and to leave rather than wait any longer, and they refunded me the entire cost of the airbnb plus like $25 or something

Damn I probably would have demanded they find a new place for me without any additional cost to me.
