I was a hardcore Airbnb user back in the day, but now I’ve reverted back to using hotels when travelling.
The prices are now pretty much the same, the discovery process is better when using hotel search engines such as booking.com and the overall quality and ratings can be easily cross-checked on multiple websites.
Compare that to the risk of having a crappy airbnb, whose ratings are of course skewed upwards, since they are the only ones in control.
Also, the airbnb website has become a slow unusable mess nowadays.
The map takes ages to load and scroll, it hides cheaper places by default and also doesnt include the fees that get tacked on in the end.
- jghn 4y agoSame. I use AirBnB/VRBO when looking for an actual vacation home or the rare cases where I want something a bit quirkier/authentic/whatever. But if I just want a roof over my head? Hotel it is.
- gooseyman 4y agoThis. Airbnb previously had a lot of character & "true" shares (people renting our THEIR space). Now, they seem to all look and feel the same... like a hotel. Except they come with the risk that something is off and there is no front desk.
