Thanks for that Migrant. 4 nights is bad enough but what if it was 2 weeks @ 10k night !!!! I will be having a really good look at their contracts to see who is responsible in such cases. Perhaps the owner/renter was not advised of the cancellation or has a complete no refund policy or both. Whichev...

Also what was the excuse for not refunding ?
