GBABNB Tax Fraud ABNB is complicit in allowing hosts in Carrollton, Texas commit tax fraud by charging $10 per night, then adding $50 PER NIGHT in taxes instead of .60 cents (6% state STR tax rate). ABNB fails to disclose the actually conditions of this rental by allowing these hosts to create multiple hosts accounts everytime they get a bad review, while also allowing hosts to have the guests or fake accounts do 40 plus fake 5 star reviews. ABNB also allows these hosts to create fake hosts names for their listing so you really do not know the identity of these hosts. Not sure if I can share the link but search listings inder $15 in Carrollton, Texas to see over 30 listing of the same place with different hosts accounts and names for the same listings. These listings were discovered last summer and reported to ABNB numerous times since but ABNB does nothing to stop hundreds of guests being deceived.

GBHost suddenly requested deposit, Airbnb DONT CARE The host manager suddenly asked for a cash deposit when we just arrived. This was not stated anywhere in the listing. When we refused, the manager became agressive and being very rude claiming they have lawyer bla bla bla. I was not interested in staying with them anymore as it's not as described in listing and the service super poor. So I opened a case with Aribnb who kept closing it and not letting me to cancel the stay for a refund. Worst holiday ever. Airbnb only cares the monies but not their policy Or srvice provided by the hosts! I'd now only book through hotels or resorts who would actually provide a genuine customer service than those host who are hostile to guests, worrying guests going to break or take away their 'assest' in the property. It only makes guests' stay very uncomfortable and ruining our holiday. For hosts who can't afford the risk to let out the property, just don't then. (BTW, At the last day of the stay, the host 'transferred' us our deposit, and sent us a screenshot and claimed the money will be back to our bank in the next few days. Waited for a week and nothing appeared, so I chased him Daily until he actually made the transfer. FULL OF SCAMMERS on airbnb!!)

AUUnaware that I had to be over 18 to… Unaware that I had to be over 18 to make am airbnb account, I made a reservation. Airbnb charged me then deleted my account despite being under-age and unable to make a reservation.. how does that work?? Then a refund is issued in 15 days!!! That's half a month. What is this?. Don't charge me in the first place

GBRun 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

GBBlink 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.
