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.

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.

Biased handling of conflicts between guests and owners The customer service representative called Earl removed my rating of a property whose owner yelled at me and threatened to "throw my ass out" of the property. If a guest is abused, they silence him for speaking up.

Possible to force Airbnb and host to be correct From Gerard Braas Subject: Airbnb rental in Dubrovnik with host Vesna & Martin Apartment SunSet Dubrovnik+FREE PARKING & WIFI Within a few hours after my review has been posted, I received a message from Airbnb that the full €79,50 was going to be refund. Today, Aplil 30th 2024 in the early afternoon, the money was back on my creditcard account. Thanks for your help. The next steps for me are: look how to introduce a claim with the relevant authorities at the European Union. Then analizę how to start a class action against Airbnb Date of experience: April 03, 2024

Company Reviews are a complete fix Writing on behalf of my other half, as he’s too nice to rate Airbnb. It seems like it’s a complete fix. They like to keep their Hosts looking like they are 5 Star, by either removing the lesser ratings or by hiding them. Please look at the number of reviews against counted/actual shown ones. Invariably the reviews do not add up.
