Please do not use Airbnb if you're… Please do not use Airbnb if you're planning to travel next month or later. Because if you get sick or the plane delay or you change your mind... the house owners will keep half of your money. Just get a hotel or condo or use Airbnb when you're there at your destination.

Most excellent customer service from… Most excellent customer service from Airbnb Zagreb I believe (that's what it said on the phone call) I had an issue with (in my opinion) a mis-described property which was swiftly sorted to my satisfaction. Thanks for your help!

Run quickly and get a hotel instead My recent stay looked nothing like the photos. It was major trickery and the room wasn't even the same size, bedding, or room. There were old rough sheets on the beds. Not what I paid for. I shared photos with Airbnb and was told I could get a refund and leave. So I booked a hotel and left the next day. Airbnb didn't keep their word. They said they had to support the host who didn't want to give a refund. Thank goodness my credit card company saw the photos and communication with Airbnb and refunded me

infested with bugs! I booked a villa in Spain for 4 weeks. When I arrived there the conditions of the villa was not great and I contacted the owner to do some adjustments. from there my problem started as I got some weird rash in my body. long story short after long investigation it turns out that, I bring with me Carpet beetles at home (they are some sort of bugs) and my home is infested with them now and my whole body is covered in rash from them. this has never been in my worst nightmares ! Plus it's super hard to get rid of them. So I will never book Airbnb again. at least hotels have some regular checkups and responsibility towards customers.

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 !
