We had some Eurocontrol fun getting back
Mali Losinj is a truly outstanding place!
Great for swimming too, with good water temp especially in the bays where the water was not moving around.
If anyone wants an A&P/IA for anything including a pre-buy, anywhere in Europe, well, he is back now and been well fed with fish
It’s a pity nobody else turned up but I guess it is “family holiday” time and almost everybody has all the balls in the air.
The place was relatively busy but we got a wonderful apartment for relative peanuts – 120 quid total for 2 bedrooms for 2 nights! That was lucky since I got five rejections on AirB&B (clearly some trickery was going on e.g. people putting nonexistent apartments up / chancers looking for bigger groups) and got this one on booking.com. The usual pick – Hotel Apoksiomen – was equally hedging its bets by repeatedly not replying and not returning calls or emails despite agreeing to get back with a confirmation within an hour… I hope they ended up with empty rooms!! They did get back to us but way too late, but the price was much lower than advertised which confirmed what one local told me: they hold back a few rooms for last minute stuff.

You should report this to AirB&B – this is not allowed by their policy. I do this because AirB&B has made business model on trust and sincere reviews. If that’s gone the whole business case is gone.
Interesting… the process does enable the host to reject a request for no reason. OK; in this case the reason was probably
I still use AirBB because if you go for the price level of a nice hotel room for 1 person, you get a sizeable apartment for 2 or 3 people.
The reason for reporting is for AirB&B ban such people from accessing the platform because it ruins major feature of this business model – the trust.
I had situation two months ago in Split (booking for my nephews) that owner denied booking after confirming it, asking for more money because it was time of Ultra festival. So I reported it.
