Their social network and brand recognition is their moat for now. Hosts and guests trust Airbnb. An upstart will have overcome a lot of momentum to take on Airbnb in the broad market.
- xeromal 8y agoThe reviews are worth the price of admission
- conanbatt 8y agoThey are valuable for sure, but are they 1/7 appts rented out? Traditional vacation rentals charge 15~20%, but they truly handle the key hand offs and such.
- gehwartzen 8y agoI suppose the landlords could port their reviews to a new platform by linking to the Airbnb listing similarly to how people used to post their eBay reviews when selling on forums. But yeah having all those reviews viewable natively for comparison is nice for renters.
