Hi 

To All villa rental owners be aware of a French family Benjamin and Sandrine.

He is a so call aircraft engineer, plus a con artist do not rent your villa to them, they make up false accusations to get refund for a free or cheap holiday they abuse your property lie to Airbnb who have no respect for hosts I lost over €2,000 on my rental after they charged electric cars to the tune of €250 overloaded my electricity burning out the main box as the property has no charging facilities so they just connected into my villa

Beware after over 60 customers all 4.8 to 5 star ratings my villa didn't come up to these 2 con artist standard and Airbnb are completely obvious to facts and witnesses to there action Airbnb don't want to listen.

Sorry but just so angry I wouldn't wish any honest owner to go through what I've had to

Thanks I'll definitely have a look at that. Property owners should boycott that Airbnb there business model without host doesn't exist they should learn to looking after hosts without us they don't have a business 👍
