Booked accommodation early at 1 on Albert and now left stranded as the host Jose cancelled last minute.

I had booked accommodation at 1 on Albert Cape Town and our host was Jose, this accommodation was booked in July already for December, at the last minute on the 24th of November I received an email that our reservation had been canceled, which really frustrated me me because the reason this was booked early its because I knew its a bit expensive to book accommodation later especially Cape Town, this really left me frustrated and now we do not have accommodation because of the late cancellation, never trust Jose the host, now we are left with all the mess to sort out. I am very disappointed at the level of service and non-caring attitude.
