Airbnb is fine, but the issue that you can be left hanging without apt if host fucks you over is a real one. Abnb gives you money back, but what's the point if this money is tiny compared to emergency booking prices.
If I understand right, Booking.com gives you another room in such case, not just money back.
- shmageggy 6y agoA friend had her Christmas ruined by this shit last year. Host cancelled less than 48 hours before the date, and the refund for the original price was nowhere near enough to book another place on that short notice.
- mbirth 6y agoThis is only the tip of the iceberg, though. AirBnB hosts are doing hospitality business without having to obey any hospitality law. Also there are a lot of black sheep that occupy multiple flats in best locations so people that actually want to live there don't find a place to live. And the company AirBnB doesn't do anything about that as they only see the money rolling in.
- nefitty 6y agoIn extreme cases, Airbnb will try to book you a hotel if they can’t find a suitable home to replace the cancelled one with.
- smokey_the_bear 6y agoeh, I had an AirBnB in Houston, TX in the summer with no AC. We left before the first night, and AirBnB wouldn't even give me my money back, much less a suitable place to stay. They aren't an honest company, they're just burning through goodwill.
