Refused to refund money when switched to a different rental
The house I booked had a broken hot tub so I agreed to move to a different house. When I checked their website the house I agreed to be moved to was listed approximately $300 less than the house I originally booked. I was told I would be refunded the difference in the houses, but I was only refunded $20.46. When I reached out to Whimstay about it and showed proof of the price discrepancy (per there request) I was told, "Although you may have seen prices for this listing before, please note that rates can change frequently due to dynamic pricing, which adjusts prices based on demand and availability. Additionally, hosts can update pricing in real time as well." So apparently it is ok for them to raise the prices on a rental property right before they book it so they don't have to refund money. I will never book with them company again.
