My neighbors are renting their house as air bandb. First time this weekend. It has 15 reviews. House was completely vacant when one review said charming cottage and great decore. Bogus rewiews so I will not use airbandb again. Cant trust em.

We booked an entire home for 1,000 USD. Only when we arrived did the host tell us that she had other renters living there and that not only did we had to share the living space, we also had to forfeit 1/3 of the house to the other renters (which just happened to be the entire floor with the TV and shower!) She completely lied about the rental! Because one of the people in our group was a lawyer, she quickly offered a small refund for 1/4 of the listing. What a terrible, terrible experience.

This is sooo true!! Something needs to be done about Airbnb. They will not post negative reviews so the unsuspecting renters are not aware. Airbnb needs to be held to the same standards as any hotel. There are safety issues, fraud issues. We stayed at a place that was listed as an “Instant Booking” and for $206 per night. Once you book, Airbnb takes their fee and with an instant booking you cannot cancel without paying the fee. Our booking was completed and suddenly the price jumped from $206 to $400 a night. We arrived and the place was not in the city we were lead to believe, it was supposed to be in Gig Harbor Washington when it was way, way way off the grid. So far into the woods=no where near the harbor–cell service was non-existent. We appealed to Airbnb and the “host” to no avail!!
