Beware of Airbnb!

Wednesday, 16 June 2010

This travel rental website has taken off like wild fire but be aware of the risks. Behind the pretty facade there’s little real structure or organisation. They do not offer any sort of protection and are not interested in helping resolve problem situations. And problem situations will come up believe me, in which case you are on your own. I have had a terrible experience with them. Following a failed reservation I was left out nearly $1000 and Airbnb just walked away. Be aware of what you’re getting into. These people are just out to make money on your back.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
