Verification an absolute nightmare I am a new user to Airbnb but I am unable to become a verified user and can't therefore make a booking. As someone who does not drive and therefore does not have a driving licence and as someone whose passport has expired I am unable to get verification. There is no other way to become verified ir would seem. I am cross that when trying to find a way to become verified Airbnb chat does not listen to the fact that I am in the UK and therefore do not have an identity card or biometric ID. I feel I am being discriminated against for not being a driver or an overseas traveller. They are unwilling to help me become verified by providing other of ID eg bank details, bills, taxation details etc Very inflexible !

Run 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

Horrible service for hosts !! Horrible service for hosts !!! Within about 2 month pay-out not send! Airbnb not send $3900 of past reservations. I calling 2-3 times per week for nothing .Every time hey apologize for inconveniences and send messages to other department.Today I received message that they apologize again and started investigation on engineering department but cant even tel me when they will send money .Probably Airbnb get to bankruptcy???

allow scammers and not helpful I am in Costa rica for vacation I rented a room after check in I found that no electricity and water most of the time. I asked Airbnb for a refund but they are not helpful at all and ignored my request. Next rent was a scam host, it was not even room was a camps I couldn’t sleep because the noise and very dirty, the issue Airbnb allow the hosts to re-listing again so the host keep removing the listing after bad reviews. Totally scam! We should try something else than airbnb! They stand with hostess!!! Adam

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!!
