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!!

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.

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

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.

Company Reviews are a complete fix Writing on behalf of my other half, as he’s too nice to rate Airbnb. It seems like it’s a complete fix. They like to keep their Hosts looking like they are 5 Star, by either removing the lesser ratings or by hiding them. Please look at the number of reviews against counted/actual shown ones. Invariably the reviews do not add up.
