This. This happened to me one time and from there on, I will not bother with it again. My time and my travel logistics plus standing around with luggage or whatever else, is worth paying for a proper hotel to never have to deal with that ever again.

The reviews should have some warnings about this sort of behaviour, if it's consistently a problem with the host.

I've used Airbnb many times and have never had an issue. Make sure you only use hosts with good reviews.
