Totally agree. I got scammed with fancy airbnb pictures a couple of times and now I don't go near it with a 100ft pole.
It's totally lost its feel of welcoming host. Now it's just another hotel that's poorly run by people who want to make a quick buck.
I stay to hotels even if it's slightly expensive. The level of service and quality is always guaranteed
- bogomipz 10y agoThat stinks. I'm a hotel person myself but I am curious did you have any recourse with AirBnB when this happened?
- nojvek 10y agoI did message them. The guest had strict cancellation policy so I just got sympathy. It seemed airbnb customer service did not understand concept of "lifetime value" of customer. They could have made a lot more money in long term if they just refunded a bad experience.
- lobotryas 10y agoSorry to hear that. Did those renters also have good reviews? If so, that might indicate that you can buy fake reviews on ABnB now.
- nojvek 10y agoReviews are a very bad indicator in my experience. My airbnb stays from 2013-2015 were great and the average tanked. Airbnb is still doing well and profitable so good for them.
