Unprofessional and possibly illegal.
My accommodation was somehow double booked, so I cancelled via wotif. This cancellation did not go through to VRBO, so the booking persisted without my knowledge. The host was able to change the dates of my booking (due to the double up) without my consent. I now have no power to cancel this booking for a full refund as it is now too close to the date. VRBO say they need the owner’s authorisation to override the cancellation policy. The owner is uncontactable by both VRBO and myself. Getting the consumer affairs ombudsman involved now. Very stressful and time consuming. Can confidently say I will never book with any Expedia affiliated companies ever again, and will tell anyone who will listen to do the same.
