★★★★ Harry Du Bois 7/6/2026
It's cheaper to get a hotel with accommodations.

★★★★ Ronda Law 7/5/2026 v26.27
went to our rental and there was a lady living in the property after driving five hours in traffic we were left stranded and told they would pay 20% of our first night at a hotel and never helped us find anything and never sent the 20%.
★★★★ Angie Leon 7/5/2026 v26.27
You removed timestamps, prices paid and all the other vital information that used to appear on a reservation -- who thought hosts wanted to see less information?
★★★★ Jessica “Nuggette” 7/5/2026
I had booked a stay and needed to be verified. It sends an email with the verification request. Everytime I clicked on the verification request it said "You've been verified" and a check mark on my profile was there to show I had been verified. It kept sending me the email to be verified and everytime I clicked on the link the same message appeared saying I was verified. Long story short, I guess I wasn't verified and lost my reservation. I will be deleting this poorly managed app.
★★★★ Santeri Talka 7/5/2026 v26.27
Founder is a reprehensible racist.
★★★★ Jayce Lee 7/5/2026 v26.27
I pretty much got scammed by the airbnb host and I asked airbnb assistance and they said they will try but got nothing. I had to pay the host 300 dollars worth of cleaning due to dogs because owner requested and I asked for their cleaner to meet their standars but owner refused to give to me so I hired one based on review. Despite the professional cleaning was done, he took half of my bond so I had to pay it twice. Gave them 1 star for it and airbnb removed my comment. Guess hotels are better.
★★★★ Frank Elavsky 7/5/2026 v26.27
rarely use Airbnb but every time I do, I regret it. hidden cleaning fees, cabins with no toilet (not mentioned on the listing), and AI assistants that do nothing to help.
★★★★ A Google user 7/5/2026 v23.17.2
Airbnb is no longer a better option than hotels, you pay a cleaning fee and still have to clean, locations are not always honest and the chore list is longer than I have at home, and finally fot two people hotels are cheaper.
★★★★ Bronson Moirangthem 7/4/2026 v26.27
fraud

★★★★ Anupriya srivastava 7/4/2026

★★★★ Mith Lander 7/4/2026 v26.27
we didn't receive our keys for the apartment, and the owner didn't get back to us. We tried to contact the support, and still no feedback.
★★★★ Neil Burton 7/4/2026 v26.27
Biggest load of nonsense & poor app. Won't bother again
★★★★ Sharjeel Shakar 7/3/2026 v26.27

★★★★ Jordan Lynch 7/3/2026 v26.27
awful customer service if anything goes wrong.
★★★★ latika deo 7/3/2026 v26.27
the company chooses property owners over their customers. the app does not process complaints.
★★★★ lilly jaikim 7/3/2026
too bsd app
★★★★★ Lawrence Rieg 7/5/2026 v26.27
trying to cancel stay and unable to get customer service
★★★★★ Tony Gorman 7/4/2026 v26.27
often unreliable, app hangs, dates change after app hangs. AirBnB cancelled a host's account after I had arrived, it was unexplained and strange.
