A Review by the Couple That Only Rented This Airbnb to Bang We had a lovely stay at Josh and Brandon’s cozy mountain cottage. Our hosts included many thoughtful touches that made the place really feel like a home away from home. We just had a few things we’d like to note for future travelers considering booking this place. The bed frame could be sturdier. The kitchen counter could be sturdier. The patio …

Never book an airbnb if you are travelling to a city for a big event My husband and I wanted to watch F1 race live since last 3 years but because of covid we couldn’t make any plan. This year we decided to watch the granprix at Imola. We both follow vegetarian diet so we decided to book an airbnb so that we can cook some meal if we dont get vegetarian options in the city.

Does Airbnb not require hosts to list when places are hostels?

Does Airbnb not require hosts to list when places are hostels? I’ve been trying to avoid Airbnb as much as humanely possible because of the housing issues it’s caused, but every now and again it makes sense to stay in one. One such instance was a few days last week in Porto, in which I rented an “apartment” only to get there and find out that it was a hostel. It ended up being fine, but the kitchen and such…

Airbnb hosts asked for only a five-star review upon checkout, or no review at all

( www.reddit.com )

Airbnb hosts asked for only a five-star review upon checkout, or no review at all We recently completed an Airbnb stay over the Labor Day weekend. Without going into detail about our stay, let’s just say it was less than perfect and some of the things we disliked have obviously been present for months/years, yet no reviewer bothered to mention some of this glaring issues. So imagine my reaction to this message from our host t…

( www.reddit.com )

Where in Denver to stay? Hotel or AirBnB? Looking to visit Denver June 2nd-6th. I’ve been reading that downtown Denver kinda went downhill since Covid and there’s a lot of homeless. Should I avoid getting a hotel in that area and look elsewhere? If so, where? And would it be better to look into an AirBnB? It will just be my wife and I. submitted by /u/tumadre1390

My dog damaged my Airbnb rental. How do I make it right without getting screwed?

( www.reddit.com )

My dog damaged my Airbnb rental. How do I make it right without getting screwed? I’m working in a different city this summer, and found a pet friendly furnished condo for my dog and I through Airbnb. The listing is through a management service, not a private individual. I got home from work to find that my dog had chewed through some of the wooden molding on the windowsill. In this case it’s definitely my responsibility, and…
