I notice if I do the monthly bookings the host will get the people who work at the condos to try and push you out and cancel so they can book the room at a higher rate and or for free since you left. That happened a lot in the Philippines and Indonesia. Mexico will do it as well but not as common. Worst hosts in my experience are the Filipino hosts. I stayed at quite a bit. Don’t stay somewhere there’s a lot of staff working. Apartments or homes are better. Don’t book the condos. Malaysian hosts could use some help.
