People Are Roasting Airbnb For Getting Completely Out Of Hand, Here Are 30 Of The Most Savage Tweets

Well of course it did. That's capitalism. Anything that makes any money must be taken all the way to the extreme until every penny is being squeezed out of it consequences be damned.

But some places do not have hotels only Airbnb but Airbnb charge for stupid extras you would be better of hiring a car and finding a hotel further away.

I completely agree. Bed & Breakfast accommodations are often quite nice and the host is around to provide you with the amenities that you pay for and deserve (like breakfast). I've never understood how "B&B" suddenly lost it's true meaning (homey accommodations with a bed and breakfast in the morning) within AirBnB.

I'll stay at a hotel when it doesn't cost 200 bucks a night

Well not always. We were dropped on Cape Cod (Falmouth) by the USMC. We were turned away from a lovely bed and breakfast because the owner would not accept children as guests. Our daughter was three, nearly four but miss BnB hated children. We spent three nights in the only campground still open, until we scored a barracks room on Otis for a night, and found a really nice real estate agent who snagged us a huge house in town for cheap because it was off season, and we were up for base housing in the spring. There was even a military commissary in town. Too perfect. Screw you bed and breakfast b***h.

I have stayed at some awesome host houses, none of which were there just to rent. All of them were actual homes these people live in or guest houses they have on their property. I WILL continue to support AirBNB small/local hosts............ This post isn't 100% true

There's not really a housing shortage in the US. There are plenty of houses in the US to house everybody. But it would be less profitable to do that and sadly thats usually the deciding factor for what happens here.

We have a housing shortage?

True true. I stayed at an AirBnB flat in Hastings that would have been hard to live in long term unless you were a single person with absolutely no hobbies. The bedroom wasnt big enough for any furniture except the bed, the kitchen was corridor style so couldn't sit down to eat in there, and the other room was so tiny too.

Zobi, there ARE hotels with kitchenettes... I forget what they call them, but we use them all the time. Hope more people or hotels start installing them, and problem solved.

Maybe it's only because I live where there is a huge tourist industry, but my area has all kinds of long term rentals. We have hotels called something like "Economy Suites" that usually contain a large room with sofa, chairs, table and kitchenette, with one or two bedrooms attached. You can rent them by day/week/month, and many are very reasonable, in the off season anyway. Some hotels have "lock off units" meaning the main rental is one or two bedrooms, but you can unlock extra bedrooms if you need them. We also have residential hotels... some of them get very seedy, so I wouldn't rent sight unseen, but some are very nice little mom and pop rentals that have been operating for decades. I have friends who stay in just such accommodations every year for the past 30 or so years... they get a special rate, and have become quite friendly with the proprietors. It's an old style Florida motel, and the rates are really affordable.

Why not stay at a holiday park and rent a holiday house?? Center Parcs for example.

You need to video the entire place on your way out, or at least that was the advice I was given by a couple friends who use the service quite a bit. It creates the best evidence if you have an issue later. Just make sure you pass over the less obvious things like sinks, trash cans, laundry if they asked you to start a load of laundry etc. It all seems like too much work for not enough savings to me. I just stay in hotels. Plus where I live Airbnb has bought up affordable housing and there wasn't enough of it to begin with, so I really don't want to support their business model.

If I'm paying more than 100 bucks for a cleaning fee for staying in a place for a week, I'm not taking that trash out on principle lol.

hell no, I always double check and for short stays Airbnb is really not worth the money. all the fees make it more expensive compared to hotel and no breakfast....

I rent out my 2nd house and its 2100SF on a local lake... I only charge $139 a night. Its rented about 70% of the year. Much nicer than a hotel and the market confirms that!

They are paying more for a more personalized space, they want the perks of an air bnb. They know there are hotels that are less, they don't care. Also recently for a girls weekend for 10+ we looked at all the hotels in town, renting rooms in blocks, etc. The airbnb we rented was at a discount (my friend had used it before). Along with the much cheaper price we had a hottub, sauna, heated garage, privacy, trails, fresh eggs, and a fresh garden to pick from. People are definitely getting out of hand - that doesn't mean everyone is. No need to be rude.

You just low-key called people who have used, or currently use Air B&B, stupid.

The brilliant and superior WilvanderHeijden looking down his nose at all Airbnb customers. Lol, what a dildo

It’s their money to do what they want and hotels sometimes charge per person not just rooms

Not in major cities

Can you please provide the source for your "not too bright" statement?!?

My cottage on airbnb is not loaded with amenities but it's located on a very large farm with its own hiking trails and abundant wildlife. No hotel can offer that around here.

AirBnB "savings" are like "Grubhub savings" among my [Z]illennial friends: "I saved 50% off my order using the app!" Me [and "we" are literally 5 minute drive from McDonald's 🍟 🍔]: but you just paid EIGHTEEN DOLLARS 💸 AND 66-CENTS 🪙 for ALA CARTÉ 😱 menu items [drink 🥤and FRIES 🍟] with DELIVERY FEE + TIP. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Millennial Friends in bewildered rebuttal: but I saved on gas ⛽️ because I didn't have to drive. 🤦‍♂️ Me, one last time: you just "saved gas [MONEY]" ??? by spending $14.98 to have $3.68 worth of fries/soda 🍟🥤 delivered to y/our location." THE RESPONSE: it saves on my tires, too... says the "kids" who drive around on temporary 🍩 donut-tires "didn't know I'm supposed to have the tires rotated."

A lot of people seem stuck thinking abnb is cheaper like it was in the early days. Most of what I've seen lately is usually either equivalent or higher than a hotel. Especially after the cleaning fee craze, often when you add in whatever random a*s fees the host wants to add, you could easily be doubling or tripling the hotel rates.

No way!! Did it not lock?!?

It's bonkers now. They charge cleaning fees, service fees, and taxes

He sucks

Thats insane. I pay half that for my mortgage for 2500 Sq ft in a lovely neighborhood of single homes.

Wow. But if he's getting it🤷 People should stop paying it and that would stop. If not. More power to him I guess.

Ironically my daughter complains about housing prices in Oregon but is considering buying a house here in the Midwest (America) to flip and put out as an AirBnb.

Uhhhh.... How dare he? Who gave him the right to spend his own hard earned money on a real estate investment and try to earn money off of it. On top of that, how dare he provide a needed service to people. Some people are just disgusting human beings.
