AIRBNB NOT REFUNDING ME

I made a booking early in June for the 5th to the 7th of July. I made a payment to reserve the place and then the remaining balance was deducted from my bank. On the day I had to check in at 3pm I text my host and he tells me that he's not getting ahold of the cleaner to clean the place. I tell the host we can check in later and he insisted on me having to cancel the booking and ofdred to refund me immediately. I canced as per his advice as he even advised that we cannot check in even later we needed to cancel and so we did. I received 2 emails shortly confirming that a 450 and 500 refund had been issued yet I didn't get the money on my back account and this was on the 5th of July the day and time I had to be checking in. Imagine all this dissapoint after the host was quiet whole day and only told me this info when I was asking him about the self check-in. Wednesday the 8th of July only R500 was paid from Airbnb and not the R450 I immediately advised the host and he said as it was 2 separate payment I needed to allow 1 more day and until now I have never received my R450. The host advised me to refer to Airbnb as the money was coming firm them, he said and I did that and I have never received an acknowledgement of query whatsoever. I'm stressed because I need the money. Please help. My email is ***

Reviewer Update
I don't know if any of this was true or the host was being tricky because after the cancelation as per his advise the place was available again to book immediately and the price was double what we had booked it for. The name of the host is Adam, instead of him helping me he advised to refer to Airbnb but he's the one that advised me to cancel. He's not even interested to help me with this. I will be taking this further, I need my money.
