Airbnb

This company discriminated against Jews.
They participate in political boycotts as a company solely against Jews. They tolerate clientele from countries where people are denied basic human rights to vote or are female or gay. They will do business with countries on the US terrorism list.

They don't represent their customers or shareholders. Don't do business with these people.

I have tried to cancel my reservation before checked in. And it has shown only less than 1/3 refund while i tried to cancelled it. The total overnights fee costs more than several hundred euro, but the refund I could get was less than 91 euro. When I tried to contacted the support chat, they asked me to wait. Then the next day the total refund become 0. Great. How a scam. I got no money back at all. Just lost hundred euro like this.

We were to travel from Canada to Arizona but because of the pandemic and boarder closures for non essential travel we are unable to travel. Plus there is no vaccine which will be distributed soon. I booked Feb 2020 for Feb 2021 travel Airbnb has refused to give us a refund and the host is refusing as well but not returning my messages I'm hearing from airbnb that the host refuses to refund the host will not talk, Evan 1 bd condo downtown Old Scottsdale do not book with them. I would be happy with a travel credit for a later date but they refuse to give a credit as well! Absolutely no help from support. They have decided that they are keeping my $900.00 deposit? These guys are corrupt. This is bad bad business do not book through airbnb!

They refused to refund second half of my money for a roach infested, cat pee smelling place i refused to stay in. They claim i should have called and complained to them the same night and not the next morning.

I Lost $320

Airbnb customer support sucks. They are too quick to close a ticket without resolution and it seems as they don't value hosts. They value guests and fees. I am considering switching to another platform.

The registration process is terrible. You should not only pay for the service they provide, but also constantly prove, that you're good and honest person. Commission they collect is unreasonable.
Will use it, but only until another service like that will appear online.

I was trying to obtain the invoice for 2 reservation that i made on this platform on the name of the company (we payed with the company card) and the consultant told me airbnb doesn't issue the invoice for all the payment! The only issue the invoice for the platform fee and for the rest of the payment there's no chance to obtain an invoice with the company's name. Incredibly. I never heard this lind of policy… i will never choose airbnb and i will never recommend this platform.

I was shocked to see "taxes and fees" were $164 dollars for a two night stay. The per night charge was $205 so I never expected such a high tax and fee charge.
Cleaning fee $50
Service fee $55
Occupancy tax $59
I thought others should be aware

While at an Airbnb stay, I was given vouchers to use. I uploaded them before the end of the trip to apply to the cost but because Airbnb charged me for the full stay 2 weeks before I even started the trip (and before any cancellation policy kicked in) they're now not allowing me to use the vouchers. I don't know 1) why they charge people weeks ahead of time, and 2) why their customer support is so unhelpful. Now I'm stuck with vouchers for a service I no longer want to use after this bad experience.

I have been a host on Airbnb for 4 years and only have rented twice. On other websites I rent my house out almost all year round and keep it booked. So on my second rental through Airbnb, I find that I have been contacted by a scammer, my payment information gets changed by someone, they notify me that it has been changed and when I tell them that I didn't change the payment information, they freeze my account and do not pay me after guests stay at my house. I'm out the money and they will not respond to my emails. The call center you get has young guys laughing and having just too much fun in the background, and all they can do is say... I am sorry this happened to you and how terrible. They can't tell me when I will be paid or why I am not being paid and never do I get an email about the non-payment... I'm just out $600 and they must figure I will forget about it.

I have canceled 2 reservations because it is impossible to travel to Savannah and St. Augustine due to hurricane Nicole. I have received $106 out of 352 for Savannah and $43 out of $345 for St. Augustine.
I find this quite unexpected when Florida is under mandatory evaluations and Savannah is expecting 60+ miles of wind. If these are not extenuating circumstances then what are they?
I have expected more help from Airbnb in these circumstances.

I really like this airbnb concept. You can really save on your lodging by looking here before a hotel. Like anything else, you need to do your research and read reviews on the actual home you want to stay in.

My family and I could not travel out on the check-in date due to flooding when a hurricane hit our area. I canceled the reservation hoping to get a refund. They had me back and forth between Airbnb and the host. Both insisting it was up to the other to issue refund and that I didn't qualify for a refund. At the end, they agreed to refund if we rebooked for different dates. We ended up enjoying our stay since back home we didn't have electricity, but it was stressful and crazy dealing with them. These people must be trained to have no sympathy for people's misfortunes and refuse refund no matter what. They push people to just give in and consider it a loss. You have to keep pushing and insisting if you know you're due a refund! Never again will I deal with Airbnb!

First time using this product waited 2 days before leaving my home to cancel booking would not help my find another place to stay.We we're going as a family for daughters graduation to recieve her doctorate. I would not recommend this Airbnb company to anyone

I booked a stay and it showed a day before stay cancelation, took pets. After I paid $710 for the stay and cancelled 4 days prior the policy was changed to within 48 hours of booking. The app was acting funny 2 days before canceling. Airbnb will not help get the money refunded on a stay I am not going on. Be very careful. If you use this have your own copies and DO NOT rely on their app. After this experience I looked up the company listing and it has 1 star reviews. Why would Airbnb support them over the customer? They havd gaslight me trying to recover the money and a huge hassle. Hotels don't do this garbage. Be careful. I can't give a zero or below zero rating but what they did was low down.

Damages discovered after the 48 hour deadline will not get considered by airbnb and further, airbnb will not amend or take down your review. Hosts be aware there are some reviews out there that the hosts now regret and you will be at risk if you rely on these reviews!

This place must write their own reviews. This is the worst place to arrange a stay in Quito. They come on as though they are there to provide a great place - but that ends once you arrive. If there is a problem - they ignore you or won't get back to you. Much better places to stay than here - a total ripoff and Air BNB - as usual - doesn't care enough to resolve issues.

I am a host on Airbnb. They are the worst place to advertise. I can see why after reading all of the reviews. They just kept $200 of my reservation money due to my not accepting past reservations. REALLY? I get 99% of my reservation from VRBO and have never had a problem with them. I get paid immediately, not MONTHS later. I have filed multiple complaints and will put them on the local news channel here in Nashville, TN. DO NOT USE this company. OF course, I can't find a phone number to call customer service to talk to anyone... WHAT A JOKE! I have since removed my listing. They also are putting remarks on my profile that says "host cancelled reservation one day prior to reservation". This is defamation and is NOT true. I didn't cancel anything. I simply didn't accept it due to another reservation at the same time. I can't wait to call my attny on this one!...

I am new to airbnb and tried to book several apartments for my trip to DC. However, all the apartments ( i wrote to 5 hosts) declined my inquiry without even a message explaining why i was declined. I am assuming hosts saw that i had no reviews on the site since i am new to it and haven't stayed at any place yet and decided to decline. There is no way to start using this site if no one accepts my inquiries. I decided then to contact listings on flipkey instead and found a great apartment that responded quickly and i am now booked for my trip.

After having a bad first experience with Airbnb, I went online and could relate to the many stories similar to mine about the lack of communication from the company. There is a lack of communication and transparency that is beyond frustrating. I was fortunate to receive a partial refund; however the company charged me fees that were over double what our daily rate was with no explanation except for fee. I got the refund because the host was not responding to Airbnb. I was expecting a refund minus the 3 days I was in the reservation. Airbnb charged me over $900 in fees with no explanation. They agreed with me that the host was in violation of their policy when Airbnb gave me some of my money back, yet they charged me fees for this awful experience. It was a terrible experience.
Buyer beware

I received a gift card for xmas. When I tried to use it there system would not take it. I searched for a phone number and found none. I ended up writing a review on there Face Book Page and they then contacted me. They would not take my number, said it was not right. So I had to send them a PDF file with the card in it. OH Suddenly they found it. I returned from my trip to find they had over charged my account by over $152. They said they could not find the charge on my account. The lady told me she would forward it on to the next level and they would be in touch. Never heard back. I'm now reporting them to my credit card and protest the charge. Awful to deal with this company. Never ever again would I do business here. Rip of artist!

I had used it several times and it went well. However, this last time was a nightmare. Place was unsafe and misrepresented. Even though they acknowledged it at the time, when I wanted a refund, the hosts declined and airbnb didn't really do anything. It was the worse experience of my life and I travel for a living.

I don't know how the government allows a company like this to operate; I will never do business with them ever again. They are stealing people money. Watch out it may happen to you. It's happened to me and my son. They stole $1,285 without my approal and I did not step foot in the of Airbnb. I made a reservation and tried to cancel it few hours later due to death in the family, and the refuse to refund my money. Attached a proof of my reservation please scroll down.
