Because we can't trust the systems we need to live our lives.
- thefounder 4y agoYou can always book a hotel. AirBNB will not and cannot provide you a 100% care free experience because some guests are indeed liars and there are all sorts of scams both on the guest and host side. It's a kind of ebay. It's always a hit or miss.
- _vertigo 4y agoIf that’s the case, all the more reason to be mad at Airbnb for removing legitimate reviews.
- thefounder 4y agoPerhaps they rely on some flawed signals to make their decisions such how many positive reviews you have (the buyer) vs seller's reviews(i.e who is more likely to lie). There could also be bad faith from Airbnb as some comments frame it but I believe most of the time it's just a tricky business. Check ebay and you see the same issues or even worse.
- seattle_spring 4y agoI'd much rather have one legit review removed for every 20 fake one, rather than have to wade through 20 fake reviews just to find a single authentic one.
