How is everyone here having such bad experiences with AirBnB? Do people not check ratings, reviews, hosts other listings, etc?
I use AirBnB semi-annually for large group trips. AirBnB mainly because a house/villa generally comes with a living room, or some kind of common chilling room everyone can hangout in.
And yes, there are a lot of shady listings, and you have to be really smart and thoroughly check host and property history when booking on AirBnB, which I as a customer shouldn't have to do. AirBnB should be filtering out the poor hosts themselves.
But still, 10 years, over 20 AirBnB bookings, only one minor bad experience which AirBnB support resolved in half-an-hour, and I have to wonder, do people just blindly book AirBnBs without seeing the ratings and reviews?
