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!

Biased handling of conflicts between guests and owners The customer service representative called Earl removed my rating of a property whose owner yelled at me and threatened to "throw my ass out" of the property. If a guest is abused, they silence him for speaking up.

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

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
