Basically, you assumed you were renting a hotel room at 1/3 to 1/2 of a hotel room price, and only because you didn’t bother to read. This one’s on you brother.

But, since you agree to terms and conditions without reading them… I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you.

“Another thing I also now see on the receipt: the cost for the night, according to their advertising on Airbnb, was changed from $29 to $34.75 for my reservation for four nights. Was the extra $5.75 charge because of it being for two people or what?” Quite tortuous to comprehend your meaning. I take it you did not pay less than $10 a night as your sentence reads. I glean you are trying to say you were charged a different amount for each night. This is not unusual and has nothing to do with an extra person charge as you question. Charge per night often depends on the night of the week you stay, eg weekend nights of Friday and Saturday are usually more expensive than mid-week nights. Public holidays and high season rates are most often more expensive than low season or non-holiday days. Most people know this.

“…trying to make excuses because of their “terms and conditions”.” T&C are not excuses. T&C are the points of an agreement, ie a contract, which legally bind the parties to perform their obligations and are enforceable at law and upon which the parties rely for the fulfilment of what was agreed. They should not be placed in inverted commas as this indicates your contempt for a legal document to which you agreed. If you do not agree to the T&C you should not have accepted them and entered into the contract.

“The host never mentioned anything about the fact that if it wasn’t just for one person that the price would change and told me to immediately change my reservation to two, not just one.” I’m sure on the listing and during the booking process that the number of people staying would be requested, usually by way of a radio button. It appears you selected ‘1 person’, which is usually the default number, otherwise you would not have written that the host asked you to change your booking from one to two people. Most people know that two people cost more than one person. From your picture, the room can sleep 4 people. Does your common sense tell you that even the top rate of $34.75 a night would be for one person up to four people?

“I included a picture of the location to be rented by the hosts.” Your picture is not that of the location of the accommodation but rather a picture of the room to be rented. In fact, no where do you give the location of the accommodation at all, not even which country. It appears to be quite a nice room even equipped with a TV. It has two double beds meaning it can sleep up to four people. Even at the top rate of $34.75 a night, do you think that would be for 4 people and not per person?

“Other signs of this site to be a scam is their cheap night stay without including fake charges like “service and cleaning fees” “. Cleaning fees are not fake charges nor do they indicate that the site is a scam. I would presume they were mentioned in the listing but you did not bother to read them.

I think you’ve created many of the problems yourself by not reading the relevant information, using English imprecisely and not using common sense.

Not true – they mess around and rob the hosts as well
