Nice spam
Shray, is that you?
Not me. And you ?
This is vile
Same thing happened to me on Airbnb in Barcelona, with in hindsight clearly fake 5-star reviews. Airbnb refused to refund even though we left to get a hotel within 30min of moving in that place and the customer support was a complete asshole. I had to take to to Twitter (fortunately have some friends who have a lot of followers) and asked friends to retweet to finally get my money back. I used to be a big fan of Airbnb and wanted to work there, but this experience just makes me question their seriousness of scam and safety. That listing is still up to this day - nothing was done
Same thing happened to me in Montreal. For $15 a night during a conference I didn't want to fight it with anything but a mediocre review.
I’ve stopped using Airbnb after being the biggest fanatic. It just adds a layer of uncertainty to logistics. Now hotels seem like a big come up. They’re cheap, consistent, and the linen and room service is actually a big help.
Airbnb offers hotels :)
Yeah but that defeats the business model and purpose and valuation as to why Airbnb exists Airbnb Becoming like WeWork :)
Sad. I used to love Airbnb. But I got scammed so many times. The last trip I did to Costa Rica with my wife was just the end of it. There was no real Airbnb /home. We were left outside in the sidewalk talking with their customer service. I only had 5 days vacation and spent 3 days on a phone with them to get my money back. Not worth it. I still have PSTD. But I learned my lesson. Hotels are not so bad after all ... They actually improved their services (thanks to Airbnb) there is now good options in the market.
Airbnb offers hotels :)
Damnn ...I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know. But I think this begs the question of what is the difference between Airbnb and Booking.com? Do you have all types of hotel? I will check it out. Good move by Airbnb.
Only use superhosts on Airbnb
Yeah? And pay premium over hotels?
Superhost doesn’t mean more expensive than hotels.
MobileIron ...why are you so against Airbnb ? Chill man!
Because I got conned as well while traveling and they didn’t return money only a small part even though I left within an hour and asked for full refund. Pictures and reality were totally different :(
Guessing you’ve never shopped online for anything? Seems like it’s easy to dupe you. What a dumb dumb.
Airbnb sucks. People should stop working there, very poor service. Always scammed whenever tried to use their service.
