Literally never had good experience with this shit. The vast majority of the places are so fucking sketchy. Thought i might get shot anytime. And also “no refund”. Fuck you airbnb.
One time i booked a place where even my uber driver was scared to go. He felt so scared for me that he gave me his number. As soon as i saw the room inside the house. i immediately called the same uber driver and got away from that place as soon as possible
The place had 4.8 rating
@chewy, which place is this. We always prefer Airbnb over hotel because of kids being able to play around and extra kitchen. Reading comments like this scares me.
I only book places with lot of reviews. I did have last minute cancellation from host once. But otherwise it's ok.
Reviews are scam. I left a 2 star review for a sketchy place and it was taken down by airbnb without even notifying me the reason. Oddly, all the fake 5 star reviews are still on that listing. Oddly, the property owner had the audacity to text me to offer discount for providing 5 star rating, which is against the airbnb policy to not contact the guests outside of the airbnb app! Fuck airbnb.
Title scared me 😦
Commas save lives
just book a hotel
That would be too easy.
for man and airbnb? 😦
Unless you are like a group of 8 or more, AirBnb is useless. Even then, it might just be 💩
Why do you use AirBnb? I haven’t used them for 3 years. The cleaning fees they charge on top of owners requiring you to do the dishes, clean the cook top, and clean the place ought to make you get a hotel. I’m so done with STR.
Stopped using Airbnb, hotels are much cheaper and have consistent service. I only use Airbnb for big groups
Stop setting your budget to $8 / night and it will be fine.
It's not Airbnb's fault you can't pick the right neighborhood.
How would one know if the place is sketchy in a foreign country where there are no stats.
Sure, but that's still not Airbnb's problem.
It was good when it first started out, these days it's just people scamming guests for cleaning fees.
