Ah this tired argument. "No one forced you to use this service, even though it's relatively close to a monopoly and sometimes there are literally no other options.. but in any case, because you 'chose' to use the service they can just do whatever you want and you have no recourse to complain or think it's wrong!"
- cool_dude85 4y agoSometimes there are literally no other options? Not sure if I've ever visited a place with no hotel.
- bombcar 4y agoIf you want to go some places off-season Airbnb and friends are the main option; the only hotel in town closes for the winter at many towns in national parks, etc. Still doesn’t “force” you to use Airbnb of course. And I wonder if people negotiating outside of Airbnb will begin to happen.
- brewdad 4y agoYou've never vacationed somewhere that isn't a city? There are loads of worthy vacation spots in the US where there are either no convenient hotels, or they are very limited and fully booked months in advance. Usually because the visitors are highly seasonal and there's no reason to visit aside from that seasonal attraction.
- jibe 4y agoeven though it's relatively close to a monopoly and sometimes there are literally no other options That's wild hyperbole. Hotels, motels, hostels, B&Bs. Plus all the hometstay alts, like VRBO, Flipkey, Vacasa, CouchSurfing, etc...
