Some hosts are threatening to strike, while others are plotting ways around Airbnb’s new restrictions. Guests, meanwhile, are celebrating.
AIRBNB HOSTS ARE melting down over a new policy banning them from making guests complete tasks that “would typically be performed by a cleaner,” like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.”
The change, which applies to all bookings made on or after November 20, quickly sparked outrage after it was announced in an email to Airbnb hosts on Wednesday. Many began fuming online about losing the right to make their guests clean up after themselves.
“As hosts, we have a responsibility to protect our investments, our homes, and, in many cases, our personal living spaces,” one person wrote in Airbnb’s official forum for hosts. “The problem is that Airbnb increasingly expects hosts to accept the risks while limiting our ability to protect ourselves.”
They’re lucky they still exist. Fuck airbnb
Unfortunately, I kind of rely on them. I’m an Aspie so the noise of your standard hotel/motel makes them intolerable to me. Airbnbs tend to be less expensive than hotels and easier on my nerves.
Idk about you but the majority of hotels I’ve stayed at are quiet.
Lucky you.
also for large groups, or families, it also make sense. rather than painstinkgly trying to share a couple hotel rooms and being uncomfortable.
Large groups in Air BnBs will likely get you banned, or charged for each additional occupant over 2.
It depends. Some hotels have shareable rooms with doors between them that they can open if a big group is renting contiguous rooms. That’s always been nice in my experience.
