Blink camera was installed inside the… Blink camera was installed inside the property, with a note saying it was recording images. This violates air bnb policy, but because the host had noted (incorrectly, as they listed under 'exterior camera') the camera on their listing, air bnb kept closing my case. They even quoted their own policy at me, which proved they were in the wrong. Total invasion of privacy, but what's worse is that air bnb didn't even listen to me, just closed the case multiple times. A joke to have policies you don't follow, and do nothing about when violated.

Charged for damages to furniture already faulty My son spent an evening sitting in an old faux leather chair and to our surprise, when he got up, the finish had disintegrated like tissue paper, peeled beneath his rear end and fell to the floor. Despite my having explained to the host what had happened days before checking out, she decided to gouge me for payment. Airbnb decided to side with the host, demanding $400CAD for a chair worth about $150 new at Walmart. They’ve threatened to charge my card, which I’m unable to remove, and I’ve threatened to take them to court if they do, insisting that furniture, at the very least, should be able to be used as intended without it falling to pieces. I am unable to leave a poor review on the host site without running the risk of them giving me the same. This makes me question the validity of reviews in general. The whole ordeal has left a bad taste in my mouth, and I will never book through Airbnb again.

allow scammers and not helpful I am in Costa rica for vacation I rented a room after check in I found that no electricity and water most of the time. I asked Airbnb for a refund but they are not helpful at all and ignored my request. Next rent was a scam host, it was not even room was a camps I couldn’t sleep because the noise and very dirty, the issue Airbnb allow the hosts to re-listing again so the host keep removing the listing after bad reviews. Totally scam! We should try something else than airbnb! They stand with hostess!!! Adam

Verification an absolute nightmare I am a new user to Airbnb but I am unable to become a verified user and can't therefore make a booking. As someone who does not drive and therefore does not have a driving licence and as someone whose passport has expired I am unable to get verification. There is no other way to become verified ir would seem. I am cross that when trying to find a way to become verified Airbnb chat does not listen to the fact that I am in the UK and therefore do not have an identity card or biometric ID. I feel I am being discriminated against for not being a driver or an overseas traveller. They are unwilling to help me become verified by providing other of ID eg bank details, bills, taxation details etc Very inflexible !

Airbnb Site is Horrible The Airbnb site is a horrible user experience. Below are only a few examples. - Relevant rental properties don't always show up (I assume based on their own biased algorithm) - Locations are incorrectly stated and not within their stated radius. - Filters are misleading - "Beachfront" does not mean beach/water front. - Filters are not user friendly - I don't want to see pages of 8 bedroom houses when searching for 2 people. I assume they make it so difficult to funnel customers to their advantage. Can someone please come along and do it better.
