Very cheap travel/plane tickets and accommodation has made international travel very accessible for a lot of people around the globe. So I can absolutely see why some people swear to using airbnb - but for me? I'll rather pay the extra $50 for a hotel room. That's chump change for peace of mind, IMO.
- jbverschoor 6y agoAirbnb often is more expensive than hotels. But yes, for an entire house for a group of 4 - 6 people, it's great.
- rainyMammoth 6y agoI never find anything cheap on Airbnb. Actually in my mind, Airbnb is always more expensive than a hotel. Each trip I end up checking both options and I'm amazed at how expensive Airbnb ends up being after you add all the hidden fees. I think the main use case is for big groups and gathering. When you want to stay with 10 people. And even then, it's still more expensive than 6/7 hotel rooms (if you come as a couple you would only use a single room). I think Airbnb manage to convince a lot of people that they are always a better deal than hotels. I see a lot of my friends never checking regular hotels anymore.
- softawre 6y ago> Airbnb manage to convince a lot of people that they are always a better deal than hotels Strong agree. They have this in common with Amazon. They used to be cheaper but now aren't anymore, but customers don't comparison shop.
