I get a hotel. Because I’m an adult.

Thé fact that these hosts make you take out my own trash and put all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher like what is the fucking cleaning fee for

Why blame Airbnb for 0.01% of user experience? Blame the scammers, not the company. Scammers and exploiters are inevitable anywhere

I bet it's a lot higher than this. And Airbnb should do more to protect customers.

Blame the company who built a platform that enables scammers. Ffs Cisco is this why your products are universally hated?

This would be a great Blind poll. I bet most people would be willing to pay 25% more for a hotel just to avoid the usual Airbnb bs. If you don't get a "super host" residence, does Airbnb even make sense? (Unless you're cash strapped of course, in which case you probably shouldn't be going to flipping Miami in the first place)

Airbnb isn't cheaper than hotels by any standards these days. It just has better options, like better views, kitchen, size.

I'd pay 25% more just because Airbnb adds 50% extra fees anyway.

There's massive scam on Airbnb with fake homes and fake identities. Obviously they're not doing enough. But who cares if they can cash out on IPO whilst showing insane growth .

Uber has7ydh Oct 31, 2019

As the article says, Airbnb has zero incentive and clearly isn't trying to address this. Scammy listings are still listings. Can't make money if you remove the scammers

I had a shitty Airbnb experience once. Really had to bug support for a month but got a full refund and my hotel stay paid.

The chance of unprofessional landlord to outright scams is huge. It is a no brainer to avoid it to not ruin your vacation.

What's the point of getting Airbnb these days if prices are on par with hotels?

Whole house, total privacy, private pool and jacuzzi, private beach access etc etc

My personal experience w airbnb has been good. Have not stayed in a hotel for years. I think last time we stayed in a hotel they gave us one bed for three people.
