Ratings and reviews

Fantastic. I've been a member/traveler for 13 years... I used to travel (not as much these days), but upwards of 180 days a year. Airbnb became a game-changer, not only for me, but also my traveling staff. SO many great experiences. On the rare occasion that I've had an issue or last minute cancelation, Airbnb customer service was right on top of it. Impressive.

App is difficult to use, terrible design. For hosts, the protection policy is so restrictive that you will sustain losses after unexpected parties and other events. If a guest damages or steals an item, air bnb devalues the item and pays only some of the amount it's worth. So you pay 20 or 30% per damaged item. Air bnb does not care about your property and they do not provide full property protection. For a 15% fee, I expect better coverage. I would prefer a third party provider, like VRBO has.

I've always used this app for vacations or work travels, and I have the best experiences with them. They make it easy to search and find just about any style of rental property you're looking for, anywhere!! Recently, someone told me that VRBO had less fees.. I tried it out today, only to find that the same listing on VRBO was $30 cheaper on Airbnb (due to fees.) I think I'll stick to Airbnb 🤗
