On: Airbnbust? Short-term rental prices plummet in Palm Springs

These days is t feels like Airbnb is MORE expensive most of the time, and that’s before you get to the like $100 cleaning fee

But please take the trash out back and strip the beds, thanks!!!

And wash the dishes and water the plants and run the vacuum and clean the toilets.

I once had a checkout list that was 40 items long or so, and for each item, it was a $25 fee if I didn't do the requested task.

This on top of a $200 cleaning fee (for a small 1 bedroom cabin).

I complained to AirBNB, nothing happened.

Have also had hosts cancel on me the DAY OF my stay, after I already arrived at my destination with no other place to stay, and very limited options.

Will not stay in an AirBNB unless it's an absolute last resort. And I'll usually just avoid the area if AirBNB is the only option.

The only time I use it now is why I can split 2 or 3 ways... having seperate bedrooms make that possible.

As a solo traveler? NFW

You hear this so often. I can’t imagine why anyone books AirBNB.
