Ratings and reviews

Overall, it works pretty well until you send a property of interest to friends. Once they look at it and do a sample booking on the property, the Airbnb app uses it's algorithm to immediately increase the price before you book. This happened to me today when I waited 5 minutes to book it. They added another $100 to the price. It is incredibly frustrating. I guess you have to make a rash decision right in the moment to get a good deal.

After attempting to make a reservation, the Airbnb app said I needed to verify my identity. That's all fine and well, except the app didn't allow me to return to the verification page after accidentally closing it. The app stated I would have to complete the verification by following the steps in an email. That email never came. When I canceled and attempted to re-book the reservation, the app said those dates were no longer available. Other than that [not minor] annoyance, the app works great.

App is great, but I get more than frastrated by lack of sorting options and the fact that it lies about availability. If you want to stay in 1 place it will break it down, but if you look to book each of the options separately, 9 out if the 10 times your entire stay dates are actually open in both places. So WHY not show full stay options?!?! I wish I could sort out partial stay it drives me crazy and makes searching so much longer and confusing.
