Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you may have experienced. At Whimstay, the booking process requires the host's approval for a reservation to be confirmed. You're right; you did not receive a confirmation for your booking. This was because the host needed to close the property for maintenance and thus could not accept your reservation. We understand how important prompt communication is, which is why we aim to inform travelers as soon as possible about the status of their bookings. Regarding the price fluctuation you observed, our prices can change based on various factors including seasonality, demand, and specific dates chosen. It's possible that when you checked back, you saw rates for different days that may overlap with pricier periods, like weekends. All our prices are provided directly by the hosts, and we operate on a transparent model with no intent to mislead our valued travelers. We truly regret that your initial interaction with Whimstay didn't meet your expectations, and we would appreciate an opportunity to assist you further. Please feel free to reach out to us directly, so we can address any remaining concerns and help facilitate your future travel plans.
