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.

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.

AirBNB 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.

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

You 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!
