ABNB Tax Fraud ABNB is complicit in allowing hosts in Carrollton, Texas commit tax fraud by charging $10 per night, then adding $50 PER NIGHT in taxes instead of .60 cents (6% state STR tax rate). ABNB fails to disclose the actually conditions of this rental by allowing these hosts to create multiple hosts accounts everytime they get a bad review, while also allowing hosts to have the guests or fake accounts do 40 plus fake 5 star reviews. ABNB also allows these hosts to create fake hosts names for their listing so you really do not know the identity of these hosts. Not sure if I can share the link but search listings inder $15 in Carrollton, Texas to see over 30 listing of the same place with different hosts accounts and names for the same listings. These listings were discovered last summer and reported to ABNB numerous times since but ABNB does nothing to stop hundreds of guests being deceived.

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!!

Charged 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.

Most 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!

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 !
