- WirelessGigabit 4y agoI have always been disgusted by the AirBnB practice where they charge YOU a service fee and take out a % of the nightly fee the owner charges. Like who are they working for? Me? Or the b&b owner?
- iamdamian 4y agoNot to mention the cleaning fee that's only disclosed when you make it to the purchase page, with the additional "House Rules" that you are required to take out the trash, strip the beds, and run the dishwasher before you leave. All the while, you don't get daily cleaning like you would in a hotel. It's pretty bad, and I'm gradually moving back to hotels, which are a known quantity.
