First, reviews can't be "doctored." Period. So read them. Focus on the negative ones if you're fishing for problems. In most cases, you'll find the negative reviews involve guests wanting things the host wasn't willing to provide, like early check in, extra people or pets.

Second, in addition to spaces with a lot of reviews, look for properties with Superhosts. We have earned our status by fulfilling guests' expectations consistently.

Third, If you think hotels are cleaner than my Airbnb, you are out of your mind.[/quote]

I’ll take the hotel over you hoarding affordable housing for profit. Kisses. [/quote]

Why isn't the hotel also "hoarding affordable housing for profit"?[/quote]
Because they aren’t in residential neighborhoods?[/quote]

No, they're in the middle of cities and have lots of lovely units that could be rented at affordable rates to local workers.

I don't see the difference.[/quote]
Hotels aren’t designed to be homes. [/quote]

Neither is my 280 sf guest house, which is 50 yards from my home and which I rent on Airbnb when I don't have family or friends visiting. Are you saying I should be instead renting it long term at "affordable rates" to some family? So they can live in my back yard? In one room with a microwave and a mini-fridge?

The whole idea that every Airbnb takes a long term rental unit off the market is absurd. The vast majority of Airbnbs would never be rented out long term. And the ones that could be would NOT be "affordable."

Come back and complain when you make your guest room available to Ukrainian refugees. [/quote]
That’s not the type of Airbnb people are referring to as taking affordable housing from neighborhoods and you know it. 
Also, I don’t have a guest room, I live in a two bedroom condo. [/quote]
