Airbnb Plans to Verify Every Listing

For every odd situation I see in HN comments there comes somebody like you saying: "why, I just did that yesterday!".

A location getting good ratings from other people in the same city that rent 2 other apartments is so odd it should be denied by default and require manual approval. The odds of collusion are quite high. Of course sellers would help each-other with good ratings! Even at the actual cost of paying for a night (in AirBnB fees) it might still be worth it if you want good ratings.

So, no, this is pretty strange.

You don't even have to pay many AirBnB fees - you can steeply discount a night, and then get your friend to book it.
