Ratings and reviews

An attractive app with some major flaws. One is that if it doesn't get enough results with your filters it ignores them. So if I want a hot tub but only a few places have one, I have to click through each property individually to see which actually has one. Another is that there is no way to add a reservation to your calendar. What?! They don't send an ics file in the confirmation email, either, so you have to add everything manually. Pretty lame for a so-called tech company.

Variety is wonderful, there's something for every taste and budget! Easy to find a place to stay anywhere. Some things aren't consistent, such as add on fees for pool heat. There should be more fillable categories for hosts to let guests know what is or is not included at a rental (baby items, beach/recreation items that some hosts list and others don't). It would be nice to have a compare/sort feature for guests.

The app is great the only suggestion would be to make sure you look at total cost. Some people charge additional fees so even though it looks like your getting a great deal your not. I have seen that if I look at total cost I can actually rent a nicer place for less money. Airbnb should just list total prices no one really cares about the break down especially if it misleads the customer.
