[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you need to do better at choosing your Airbnb’s. Read reviews carefully. I’ve stayed in tons and never, ever had an issue. [/quote]

I just stayed in a terrible property and every single review was glowing. It was my first time staying in one - a friend booked it for a NYE trip - so I'm not sure how it works. Is it like on Uber where you rate the host and then the host rates you? Are these past guests lying in their reviews to maintain their high guest ratings? If not, why not post accurate reviews?

One shower had black mold between the shower tiles and two other showers each had filthy, moldy shower liners. The host claimed it was because the property had been sat empty for a few weeks and the seasonal dampness caused it. They sent a cleaner the next day which is the soonest the host said one could be there.

This property also claimed to have a fully stocked kitchen with cutlery and plating for 8. I mean, it did, if you counted the mismatched reusable plastic spoons and forks that my toddler uses for easy gripping.  :lol: That wasn't such a huge deal as we just tossed paper plates and plasticware in the cart while grocery shopping nearby.

But seriously, the only negative I saw in any of the reviews was that the host didn't send the unlock code to that guest until 15 minutes before check-in.

This house clearly hadn't seen a fresh coat of paint in years. There were marks on the walls where decore had been changed out and spackle was used to fill the nail holes but never painted over. We paid $975 (that included the cleaning fee) split between 4 for the long weekend and that was the off-season rate. You mean to tell me that with all that season rate money that this host made that they couldn't afford a new coat of paint? Lazy and greedy, IMO. [/quote]

Worried about the paint job? huh.[/quote]
