For the first time in 3 1/2 years I have had NO bookings. Now I know why. I am so mad at ABNB for making Instantbook the default for searches. I am single, my guests stay IN MY HOUSE, and I do NOT want to book to people without a passport verification and either recommendations from other hosts or having a chance to google them and find out more about them.
Loyal host, loyal guest, early adopter - and ABNB is screwing me in favour of places that care more about booking people than hosting people. If that's where I wanted to host my listing, I'd be on tripadvisor or something tacky, not here.
COME ON ABNB, get back to your freaking roots. I am SO MAD!! You have cost me over $800 in bookings already.
