Airbnb

“I'm glad Airbnb is finally starting to crack down on this behavior.”

“They now penalize landlords who do that, which means if your host did, they probably have a very good reason.”

“they offer way better prices than local hotels”

“If the room is unavailable, the hotel makes it its problem. But in the case of AirBnB, they make it YOUR problem.”

“Pretty much everyone I know (including myself) has maybe 1-2 bad experiences over dozens of stays.”

“I've had several AirBnb hosts cancel. Airbnb provided an alternative option the first time but the second time did not.”

“The decline in service, misadvertising of spaces, poor customer service and general decline in value stop me from continuing to use AirBnB.”

“Airbnb would only offer us a refund plus maybe like 10%. They would not make any effort to rebook us at an equivalent property.”

“I've not once had any unreasonable charge or conflict with a host”

“I find you get more space & amenities for the same price, but it's not much - if any - cheaper.”

“Instead AirBNB thought they could get cute and pretend that this fixed part of the charge is not part of the price at all”

“I was very happy with all my stays, specifically the hosts who balanced privacy with friendly helpfulness.”

“IMO this is basically the only category of AirBnb that's worth considering and it doesn't seem like a big growth area.”

“I've stayed in many cheap Airbnbs while traveling myself and didn't have that experience myself.”

“Airbnb has actually gotten extremely sensitive about this perception the last couple years.”

“You can never be sure a listing will have what you think it will and Airbnb does very little to investigate what a property offers.”

“I was ready to quit over the huge fees, the fact those fees were hidden when searching, and the absurd rules BS.”

“To be abroad in certain countries and NOT use Uber or Airbnb is potentially putting your life at risk”

“AirBnb was surprisingly responsive and so far it's been a couple of months without any issues”

“Airbnb is so much more versatile I almost always start there when traveling.”

“they do not have anything additional to offer on the top of what they are already offering so far”

“since airbnb shifted from people renting their own homes to people buying homes to airbnb it has just felt gross”

“AirBnb can only be used if you are willing to accept the risk of having an unacceptable or even no reservation upon arrival.”

“AirBnB is an attractive alternative to hotels for a limited set of use cases and users and what it sells is a fungible commodity”

“The corporations have also moved in, just like they did with Airbnb.”

“plus I get Airbnb support if anything goes wrong”

“same with Airbnb and having a full kitchen everywhere I go”

“AirBnB was the only way we could pay for accomodations because you couldn't withdraw USD or EUR”

“Their users and investors are overall rather happy with their services”

“Airbnb disregarded their impact on rents in touristic cities, and competed with hotels by running faster than regulations.”

“I had enforcement against me for even having my sister's family over when Airbnb's were legal in New York City”

“they’ve net benefitted society, many more times over than they’ve hurt anyone”

“Most airbnbs have completely uninspired interior decoration but I had a great one”

“That's exactly what AirBnb allows to those who are only willing to rent short term”

“Never had an issue with any of the renters”

“In an economy where there is a housing shortage local population needs affordable and long-term (6-months+) rental contracts or they don't have stability.”

“AirBnb came and just said "fuck that" and bypass complitely the licence système and or building and operating permit”

“tight integration between ChatGPT and something like booking.com, AirBNB, GetYourGuide”

“businesses like Uber and AirBnB that offer a better product than what came previously to operate”

“it's fantastic for those longer trips where you want some extra amenities in the room like a kitchen”
