Hey, I know there seem to be some AIRBNB staff but I still want to disclose that lots of AIRBNB users are not the landlords or tenants at all! They just use someone else’ ID for registration. AIRBNB can also cancel any transaction made anytime they want. Be careful! We tried this web for a while and decided never to use it anymore for safety purpose.

In reply to Thomas.

Thomas, what in the world would make you say that most of these stories are made up? My family had a very bad experience with Air BnB – we are neither guests nor hosts – it was our neighbour’s Air BnB guests that caused the problems. The guests were drunk and tried to break into our home completely ruining our front door and fracturing my son’s nose in the process. As you can imagine, the police is involved and investigating. These things can and do happen.

then don’t use instant book, don’t accept requests of new users and check the reviews of everyone before accepting a request, you can also request a driver license or personal ID (but mention it in the description), also most of the stories are made up like nearly everything on the internet

and you 3 steps are also fine except if someone wants to murder you he will find a way to do so and a simple electronic front door lock won’t save you

I agree it’s a risk when you give keys out but like, the person could still kill you or rob everything. So you have to be trusting. Or read users reviews

Who wrote this preachy, fear-mongering post? It’s out of place in this otherwise helpful, sincere website.

Paul, not sure how common sense can protect you from criminals. After all, they don’t tend to wear signs.

I’d never considered the possibility that someone could copy a key and rob an apartment. But it’s certainly a possibility – especially with some of the higher end properties.
