Yep, had a pretty unfortunate time with an AirBnb in New York a couple years ago and not used them since. I'm much more willing to spend that little bit more for a hotel where I know it's all safe and secure - plus you can get breakfast made for you!
@hasafienda 6 жыл бұрын
I kind of hate it. I've had a booking cancelled for no reason. I feel it had to do with being a single young male traveler. I wouldn't suggest it for other male solo travelers under 35. We have a bad reputation from a minority of us. It is sometimes the economical choice, like in the Miami area, but I can get whole apartments for cheaper in some places booked elsewhere.
@susie2251 6 жыл бұрын
Stephen Hitchens Even when it "works", there is the inconvenience of having to meet your host at a specific time with limited flexibility. So it's not like you can just roll up to a hotel no matter how late your flight is. I'm too nervous to book an Airbnb for the day I fly in case of delays etc. Also, there are some that require you to pick up your key at a different location than the lodging, which is not an easy task if you are traveling with luggage.

When I saw the outside of your hotel, it looked so familiar, so I looked it up and realized it was the same place my parents and I stayed at one I was 12 years old and visiting my sister and her family who lived in Alaska. That hotel had not changed since the day when we stayed there many, many years ago. However, now it is being turned into low income housing.

At least this happened on the US soil. My wife and I got kick out of the Airbnb apt. in Taiwan at midnight for reporting the host to the local Airbnb because the room/apt was not the same one in the posted picture. We were in the foreign country and did not speak the language so we did not have any choice but to pack our stuff and find a local hotel. We will never book another Airbnb apt. again.

Booked an Airbnb in LA that was not as offered and spent 5 hours trying to figure it out for them to tell us that they would not help us. When we got into the sketch place the door to a main road was smashed as if someone tried to break in. They told us that because there are bars on the door with the smashed glass that we were still safe. I get that ya’ll use their service and yes 90% of the hosts are great but the customer service we got from them when disappointed was horrible.

Go where it's sunny etc. You don't need to go without the mod cons these days. You can have your shower and toilet. Lots have solar power and live off grid. Maybe if they ever do a massive tour of America or Europe. They can use a van, vans are very well catered for in Europe with places to empty your waste and fill your water tanks. There's even outdoor washing machines you can use. i May do it myself one day
