I used to be a big AirBnB fan but they've really gone downhill. I've been denied refunds. So many places have false advertising.
I'll go back on AirBnb or whatever new platform that gives a 3d reconstruction of the actual place, and the actual sleeping quarters.
The wide angle heavily photoshopped pictures that Airbnb encourage make it extremely hard to know if the place is worth it or not.
And then there's the hidden cleaning fees which could be 100s of dollars. They don't show up on the initial search. The numbers are all towards making it seem cheap but being quite expensive at the end.
AirBnb uses a number of dark patterns on their site and I hate it. I just don't think they are an ethical company who have the customer's focus in mind.
I understand though, they gotta recoup their billions of dollars of VC funding.
I'd rather go for a hotel that I know provides consistent experience every single time.
