[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AirBnB owner (Rehoboth) here.   Booking were non-stop at my place through mid-October - literally, every day booked.   Since then, it has been crickets and for the first time in years my place is sitting empty a few nights a week.   Dropped prices, cut out fees, and it is not helping much.

Disappointed that AirBnB’s have taken over many communities and eliminated traditional Bed & Breakfasts, a once enjoyable vacation lodging option. 
AirBnB’s were a COVID / WFH craze that has reached it life cycle - too many rules, excessive fees and intrusive owners using cameras inside and out. During our last stay at an AirBnB, we covered cameras we found inside the property with ‘press n seal’. We found cameras on the deck looking at the hot tub, there’s were covered too. We didn’t want to be internet porn sensations. The AirBnB owner appeared at the unit with the police stating we needed to leave ‘cause we broke the rules. The police agreed that the cameras were an invasion of our privacy and sided with us. We stayed the remainder of the contract and left an appropriate review. We were ‘flamed’ by the owner for destroying his rental. We have photos that show how we left his rental in better shape than we found it. Owner is threatening us with legal action, our response is “bring it on”. For this reason we are done with using airBnB’s and encourage others to rethink using AirBnB’s. Never had such a bad experience at any hotel or resort.

AirBnB owners/operators have brought this upon themselves with their insecurities and greed. [/quote]

I’m sick and tired of the rules too and invasion of privacy. And the nitpicking of Air BNB owners who claim that their place was left dirty when it wasn’t. I no longer stay in air bnbs. Been burned twice. Second time I took pictures of how I left the place after I cleaned and still they insisted that I somehow ruinied dining room chairs with a food stain.[/quote]
