It’s not only like Disneyland, but then you have to be the cleaning staff too…your paying to clean up at someone else’s house

And when something goes wrong the customer service is absolute ass. The last time I had an issue I dont think they even had a phone number to call. Operating like they are in 1860 but charging like it is 2050.

Any average hotel is way better than an Airbnb now.

you mean the hotels where you have to do housework on your vacation

Hope they never find out why you’re visiting because if they find out some kind of event that has made hotel rooms scarce then they will cancel your airbnb and re-list it for a much higher price.

Every Airbnb I’ve ever had was such a shit experience compared to hotels, upcharging for shit service and shit amenities and they always had something wrong like the shelf being horribly installed or like handles to thinks falling off. These Airbnb hosts put the minimum work in to the property and charge the maximum. And don’t get me started on the keys always being hidden in the weirdest place with the worst instructions

The days of indie owners offering cookies and wine when you arrive are long dead. Now you pay a cleaning deposit and have to clean up too. F that

Used to user Airbnb a lot, not any more hotels are nicer, cleaner and usually cheaper with a lot less risk!!

When they rented out their “real” house, it was cheaper than a hotel. Then people who owned dozens of houses started running like a hotel chain.

The only times staying at an AirBnB were the right choice were when it was helpful to be at a very specific location with easy access to what I was traveling for.
Every other time, it’s paying more money to do all the housekeeping myself. To be clear, I’m pretty tidy at hotels, but why am I paying more to wash the sheets.

I recently spent £500 for 2 nights in an air bnb. It was one of the more affordable options in the area I was looking for at the time. It was a nice enough place, ple ty of privacy, clean etc, but not worth that much. For the same price I could have stayed in a pretty posh hotel in the area. But then I suppose that privacy and extra room is one of the things that you’re paying for.
I have also seen a few in my area that are in terraced houses for around £200 a night. That is definitely a rip off

And remember when Uber was cheaper than a regular taxi? It’s almost like every “disruptor” just fucks up the existing market, chases people out of it, and then charges whatever TF they want when they have a big enough market share.

I can get a decent hotel for 3 nights for the same price as some sir bnbs for 1 night…

Depends. If there’s a kitchen it’s much cheaper to buy food at a grocery store and cook vs hotel where you’re buying lunch and dinner. Especially if there’s no free breakfast.

Air bnb is just taking homes off of the market for people who actually need homes.

This is a US problem and is way less of a big deal elsewhere.

Airbnb is still good if you stay longer periods in a country, one month plus. Living hotel gets old. Otherwise Airbnb sucks yes.Â

It still is if you’re not a greedy ahole.

Hotels are far superior, unless you’re in a big group and want to share a house. And even then, idk I get a better bed and no over the top rules in a normal hotel.

Yeah, now it’s basically hotels with chores and a surprise cleaning fee.
