40 Infuriating Tweets That Illustrate Why Airbnb Is Dying (New Tweets)

This is mainly why Airbnb is my last and least favorite alternative for booking a room.

I can’t upvote this enough!

This should be at the top.

This twitter account is something else, its obviously satire but there's so much going on, from the name to the username, lol.

So true! Last Airbnb in Czech"Oh, you have a toddler, let me pick you up from the train, and fill the fridge with toddler snacks, also I got you a box of toys, if ye likes any you can keep it"

Total rip-off!

Better than apple!

He jacked up the prices enormously and wondered why he had an issue. Even after reducing the price he still had problems. Definitely wasn't a smart decision on his part.

I stayed in a suite in a castle in the country, with breakfast for less than half this amount, last weekend

Free continental breakfast too! Start off the day with a hot meal, and it's one less meal to pay for when traveling.

You're a free market guy until it hurts you, I see... Edit: I don't intend to offend anyone. But the difference between a regulated market and a free market is that... well, the second one is not regulated. You can downvote me, but the point is that regulations are needed in order to protect ground rights.

As a 45 year old, I can confirm that this game existed when she was a high schooler.

I'm not really sure why Airbnb has this system where hosts get to interview the renter and deny them for whatever reason. I can't imagine a hotel operating like that.

Why would I want to go on vacation just to do the chores I don't even want to do at home?

Seriously, some Airbnb hosts take the opportunity as "You pay me for the privilege of cleaning my home. And while you're at it, there's that leaky faucet in the bathroom you're not allowed in. You can tend to that as well."

Me!👋

Wow. Wonder if he also denies those vaccinated for polio, measles, HPV, etc.

Ew, this makes me feel so dirty and sad at the same time

We all know how toilets work. Who's sleeping on the bed full of poop splash?

Thousand bucks for one night? I'd rather stay awake with the power of coffee.

"One boring room with clean sheets and no dog hairs!

Use the cleaning fee for paying the cleaning service!

Fully agree.

He wants to own a hotel but you know...without the facilities, reception and maintenance.

We rented a house in Maine through a local real estate broker, but it was the same. We got charged extra because the cleaner claimed there was a lot of dog hair on the floor. There wasn't. I swept every day we were there, and we have yellow lab--not a big shedder. I think the cleaner just saw "dog" and decided she could make some extra money. Like, your sweeping anyway, right? Is the dog hair heavy?

Amen.

Everything has gone to s**t.

Wait what? Instead of cracking down on pervs they just said ‘yeah sure, go ahead. I gotcha 😉’….

Or else pay another 1000

I would've filled the house with random strays before I left. "I didn't know which one was yours." ... and maybe a raccoon or two.

Don't worry, when it crashes the government will bail them out and tell the greater population to "tough it out" (not American but it's the same here).

Maybe they did expect you to join the argument in the same terms, like a family, if the situation wasn't weird by itself.

But the term"pool" specifically means "a small body of water". If it was drained, it would be a pit. Definitely false advertising no matter how you slice it.

What the hell is wrong with people

The last hotel we stayed at I had to go down to the front desk and ask them to extend our stay by 2 hours after checkout because the baby had finally fell asleep after a night of teething pain and I didn't want to wake her. The guy at the front desk was so sweet and refused to charge me for the extra time. I doubt I'd ever find that level of empathy from an Airbnb owner.

I don't think Keir realizes that a lot of Airbnb's hosts do not live in the property they rent out. They own the property specifically to rent it out on Airbnb. The days of people renting out their spare bedroom for the weekend are long gone.

And how much is the cleaning fee?

Bro, on my 40th birthday we stayed at an Airbnb. The place had an awesome outdoor lounge area with fireplace and view of the ocean. What wasn’t in the ad was the rules of no sitting outside after 8pm, no music, and no visitor. We weren’t planning a party but screw that I had plans to have about 8 people there (including me and my wife and the other couple staying there)for drinks and to hang out. Rules were broken for sure. That was the last time I stayed at an Airbnb. Place was nice but I’m an adult and don’t need teenager treatment.

Wow I had no idea people charge such extortionate amounts for cleaning. I clean my AirBnB let myself, I bend over backwards to make sure my guests have everything they need. I provide an info pack on the area with places to visit, places to eat, shop etc. My only caveat for people who want to bring a pet is that they clean up before they leave, and I tend to say "No" to pets if I am fully booked, because I don't want to risk someone coming in with an allergy to whatever pet was in there. (I have a lot of animals here, but they are away from guests.) That said, I've had people break the fridge, the shower, the coffee machine -- and replacing those is expensive. Towels stolen, even some of the bed linen was stolen. Proving it is almost impossible, so you don't get reimbursed a lot of times. (The ones who broke the fridge were adamant it was working when they left. Didn't get damages from Airbnb to replace it...) But, geez, I charge €65 a night for the entire thing.

"Vulnerable to hygiene management" sounds so ominous. Like, if you sleep here, you're going to wake up in an ice cold bath of tide pods with an organ missing.

I always strip the bed at hotels to try and make things a tiny bit easier for housekeeping staff.

But befriending the haunted garden gnome would make an amazing adventure.

The bed bath has returned

Because the USA has become a cesspool of greed.

Boil your rice in the pool!

Creepy

Omg it's Ensign Beckett Mariner! 💖

Charge €60 per hour.

Oooooo! Sounds like you got a bonus bed!

And you can enjoy your fun but then you have to do everything on those pages.

I'm thinking on buy a terrain and list it on AirBnB. First guests, place foundations; next, make pillars, then roof, walls, plumbery... Materials will come from the cleaning fee. I think I have a solid business plan.

Bastards🤪

In France: 100€ x 4 nights - 400 € Cleaning fee - 60 € Service fee - 67 € Taxes - 12 € Total: 537 € This common in my travels in Europe. The house can be more or less expensive, and the tax may vary from a city to another, of course.

Airbnb's haven't worked well for me with a toddler even if the owner doesn't harass me. In a little hotel room, the main baby proofing issues are that they could play with the phone, lamps, or maybe curtains. Airbnb's have all of those, plus knick knacks, fireplaces, second story decks, stairs, kitchen implements, priceless family heirlooms, unsecured furniture, and/or cleaning supplies.

I thought AirBnB had just recently changed this and now allowed people to search on total price?

Go Dodgers!

They even left some frost!!!

If true, I would say those weren't mild inconveniences.
