Because a huge amount of value in AirBnB is its reviews.

That’s how you’re supposed to know where is worth staying and where isn’t.

If those can’t be trusted, then it’s an inferior B&B platform with doctored reviews that you can’t trust.

My advice to those reading this is just to get a hotel unless there is no alternative.

AirBnB was fine for a bit when it was cheaper than alternatives, but, in my experience, it’s now as expensive (if not more) as the hotels they’re trying to replace.

There’s usually a massively inferior experience when compared to Hotels the majority of the time. At least, that’s been my experience.

Reviews that you can’t leave unless other party reviewed you which self censors whenever there’s a slightest disagreement

See reviews for same places on booking.com and they are consistently 1 star less
