Comments on: Airbnb Host Tries Bait and Switch Over Memorial Day Weekend https://www.airbnbhell.com/airbnb-host-tries-bait-and-switch-over-memorial-day-weekend/ Uncensored Airbnb Stories from Hosts & Guests Thu, 17 Jun 2021 14:04:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Innkeeper https://www.airbnbhell.com/airbnb-host-tries-bait-and-switch-over-memorial-day-weekend/comment-page-1/#comment-51175 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 14:04:56 +0000 https://www.airbnbhell.com/memorial-day-weekend-nightmare/#comment-51175 The bait and switch is a regular Airbnb tactic. Even worse we have guests show up at our hotel regularly that booked a stay with us on Airbnb, even though we no longer list on Airbnb due to the trouble. We used to have half our rooms listed and Airbnb systems did not even detect that our photos for active listings were being used on fake listings at the same time.

People just go to our website, steal some real photos and then list our rooms at below half price on Airbnb. Then Airbnb takes the listing down, offers us no compensation and then the rooms are relisted by a different host within a week.

Airbnb has protections in place for this type of situation.
Airbnb repeatedly warns guests & hosts to keep communication & changes on the platform & not do off platform changes & money because Airbnb is not part of those this cannot help you

Airbnb terms of service require that quests notify them during their stay of problems & take/submit pictures if possible.

Airbnb offers direct phone calls, Airbnb website chats & email messaging plus I’ve been please with complaint/inquiry responses on their Twitter & Facebook pages. It sounds like you didn’t use these.

By not involving Airbnb from the beginning, a difficult situation became worse.

The situation should never have happened. I hope you left the host an accurate review so other guests don’t go through this.
