I sense at times, that certain people think that Airbnb is the place to go for cheap accommodation. If you read the forums on TripAdvisor for example, people do post views that reflect that. "I was looking for a nice relaxing week, but the resort hotels are really expensive, so the next best thing was Airbnb, and everything there is much more expensive! ".
Lesson to be learned: many people assume that a "relaxing holiday" can only mean a 20 sq. meter room in a crowded resort hotel, likely because that's all they've ever known. They don't seem to be aware that the "expensive" Airbnb is actually a 140 sq. meter house with private pool and no crowds, yet only slightly pricier than the resort hotel. It's like assuming a mobile home is pretty much the same as a Volkswagen Golf (well, they both have wheels) and they expect it to be priced accordingly.
And here in Spain (I assume you get this in Mexico, too), it's sometimes assumed that we must be some kind of far flung third world place, where everyone is desperate, so everything's supposed to be cheap. Especially now, with the pandemic. It's often assumed we must be all impoverished or something, so you'll take any booking.
And it doesn't stop with accommodation. I have plenty of stories of clueless tourists "in the wild" making really stupid presumptions about where they are.
