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.
