I've arrived at a hotel to discover that they are over booked and they don't have a room for me. Sure they put me in a taxi/Uber to another hotel, but not the one that I booked, not where I wanted to be, no recourse other than suck it up. This isn't only an Airbnb problem
- ghaff 3y agoI'm sure it happens (especially with smaller/cheaper properies) but haven't had this problem with hotels/B&Bs over many hundreds of nights over the past decade.
- ethanbond 3y agoWhere? I have never encountered this over several hundred of hotel stays?
- sarchertech 3y agoBased on the many dozens of hotels and Airbnbs I’ve stayed in, this is a much bigger problem for Airbnb.
- Zanni 3y agoI've had this happen exactly once in I don't know how many hundreds of nights of hotel stays. Yes, it can happen, but it's incredibly rare and not something I worry about.
- Tommstein 3y agoSomething similar happened to me at the Luxor in Las Vegas a few years ago. The only reason anyone would want to stay at that hotel is because of the pyramid, and I specifically booked a room in the pyramid, before which I didn't even know they also had some plain towers next to it. I go to check in, and they inform me that I'm staying in one of the plain towers. When I told them I was only staying there because of the pyramid, they informed me that "we put people in the towers all the time, you're lucky because sometimes we don't even have any rooms at all and send people to another property." And that was the last time I will ever stay at the Luxor. TL;DR: Fuck the Luxor in Las Vegas.
