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

Host 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!!)

Steer clear!! Don't use AirBnB if you want to guarantee that your holiday is all sorted in advance! I have had two apartments cancelled on me. The first one after booking 7 months in advance and then all of a sudden it cancelled. I booked again, all confirmed and then after a month cancelled again!! Now due to a busy period everything fully booked. I will not waste my time with this lot again!!

It 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

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.
