> AirBnB is already very strict with landlords

It's not at all strict with landlords. Requiring hotel/b&b zoning would be being strict with landlords, say, and that's what many countries and municipalities now do, but AirBnB seems to generally have little interest in helping to enforce that.

I had a host saep apartment on me to a smaller one. Then the new on clearly didn't have sheets changed or bathrooms cleaned. I flagged this to Airbnb and nothing. Very surprised as this was a bit of a shock how bad it could be. Since then I prefer hotels. The cost difference isn't that much and it's simpler to deal with occasional errors like this.
