RUIt is impossible to correct an unfair… It is impossible to correct an unfair review on Airbnb. I have written to them to challenge a hosts review but they have simply not replied. Fortunately there are now competing services like Vrbo which I can switch to since they don't seem to value me as a customer

GBAirBNB hounded us for furniture damage we didn't cause My partner and I just spent 9 nights in Mexico City at an AirBNB in a very nice centrally located neighborhood. The design and all the household appliances were very modern and convenient. The water was clean and didn't impart any infectious microbes. At the time the city was having widespread water shortages and water cleanliness problems. It was a very enjoyable stay... except for one thing: there were two wicker folding chairs positioned near a small table in the kitchen. At the beginning of our stay we noticed one of the chairs had a back that was unattached at the bottom such that it was swinging. A couple of days later I realized that the chair was making a cracking sound when I sat on it, but it didn't feel wobbly. However, soon I noticed that there were small pieces of wicker on the floor. I took a closer look at the chair and it looked like someone had but their knee part way through the seat of the chair. It was clearly damaged. This was now near the end of our stay. I realized that I should have reported this damage at the beginning of our stay. I didn't put my knee through the chair. I didn't notice the extent of the damage earlier because of being distracted by being on an enjoyable vacation. Shortly after we moved out of the AirBNB, AirBNB asked us to pay about $200. My partner explained that the damage to the chair occurred before we arrived. The consequence was that AirBNB constantly hounded us for $$. And my partner clearly explained how the damage occurred before our stay to no avail. I will not book any further stays in AirBNB.

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

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

CACharged 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.
