When I try to find a place to stay on Airbnb it looks like the prices are higher than what I can find on hotels.com or booking.com.
And the web site is useless. There is no option to sort by price, the filters for maximum price don't work.
It's going to have to be cheaper than a hotel or B&B to make it worth taking the risk and I'll have to be able to find it without scrolling all the way through the site.
So far I haven't found a compelling reason to try it regardless of the horror stories.
- hef19898 4y agoBooking.com replaced AirBnB for our travel needs in basically all cases. Only exception when booking.com doesn't show any available results, in which case AirBnB is a potential backup, not that this was actually necessary in the last 2 years or so before Covid, during covid and ever since.
- 2rsf 4y agoThe pictures changes as your family grows, needing two or three hotel rooms or only special family rooms makes Airbnb more affordable. Unless something has changed in the last months I always found a direct hotel order cheaper and easier than booking/hotels dot com, not to mention fake rates, irrelevant reviews or non existing rooms.

- emptyfile 4y agoThe comment said that booking.com is cheaper, not safer. Which it is, which is why on my trip to London in a month I rented over booking and not AirBnB. Why would I choose a more expensive service with zero additional benefits? Because their app is more cool?
