Airbnb

BAD BAD BAD BAD

DO NOT USE THIS SITE EVER! Their customer service is worse than any other company I have ever used! It is just as bad whether you are a guest or a host. Use VRBO instead!

This Company is so bad. As an owner you have very few information on the guests, no copy of ID, no postal address once somebody want to book your property. Most of time there is no review as guests when they have a bad review register otherwise… they don't follow the identity of the guests …they can register again and again… even if they are really bad!!!
You don't know who is coming in your property, you don't even have all the names of all the guests… so Airbnb just ask you to say "YES" to your guests without any informations. Once the booking is accepted, most of the time guests are reluctant to give more information , even just a copy of ID or the postal address. Also you don't have any contract signed by the guests, if you have pb with him, it's complicated to call Airbnb. By experience I called them one time when a guest did not come for check out and did not give back my keys… the answer of the call center was "I have to close this phone call because you don't give me the right 4 last digit of your bank account number" which BTW was right… I had my bank statement in front of me with the credit transaction AIRBNB…
Anyway no help at all from Airbnb , when you have a pb, don't count on them… no help at all… and they have the deposit … so if you need to be reimburse of damages by the deposit … just nothing, no contract, no deposit, no help from Airbnb. Very bad experience and so bad service from the inexistant "call center".I was obliged to change 2 lockers at my charge… 100$…
I must say also that the most of time Airbnb provides bad people who wants travel discreetly without giving their ID and basic information about them. I had several guests visited by several prostitutes ( you always learn that later…). This never happened before with other websites… Airbnb does not care, they manage the payment and the deposit and you just have to shut your mouth…
If you don't want have pb, or you care your home, believe me avoid them…

SOCIAAL, ECONOMISCH, ECOLOGISCH, MENSELIJK
Airbnb en peer-to-peer economie (2dehands.be, ebay, blablacar) is iets dat helpt iedereen.
Als iemand, op een sociale wijze, zijn ruimte en zijn kosten wilt delen, is alleen maar een win-win situatie.
Ik wil niet een stad vol van 5* hotels met toeristen die kijken jou van boven hun skyscraper kamer met een verrekijker.
Ik wil eigenaar zijn van mijn stad, mijn ruimtes en de vrijheid hebben om nieuwe culturen te leren kennen, vanuit mijn huis zelfs!

LOBBIES VAN HOTELS
De lobbies van hotels vinden zulke communities niet goed zeker, en zullen de regeringen invloeden spijtig genoeg.

Binnenkort zal ook CouchSurfing als hotelservice beschouwd, BlaBlaCar als taxi en 2dehands.be als winkel activiteit.

De lobbies van Taxi's, Hotels & trading zijn sterker dan de regering. Of zijn ze ZELF DE REGERING?

DE REGERING TRACEERD IEDEREEN DIE OP AIRBNB IS
ze zouden beter acties tegen de zwarte inkomen van Hotels en zulke grote bedrijven, in plaats van de mensen te traceren die een week per jaar, hun appartementen delen om sociaal te zijn en een nog de kosten ervan te kunnen betalen!
