GBAirbnb 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.

SEYou cannot rely on Airbnb reviews - stick to other boking sires! We recently had an awful experience with a property booked through Airbnb. In hindsight the hosts company IStay Liverpool are clearly running a scam offering properties they have no control then moving you on the day of the booking based on spurious grounds. There are numerous reviews to this effect but the way the Airbnb review system works no one can place a review to this effect unless the host allows it? What sort of review system is that - complete joke!

GBMost 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!

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

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.
