FAKE GUEST PROFILE, NON RELIABLE ID VERIFICATION SYSTEM

[Andrea4560]

Last week I have had one apartment in Paris literally trashed by a gang of criminals that organised a 2 nights rave party.

The reservation came from a profile with Id and phone verification, and most disturbingly, with several 5 stars reviews. They presented themselves as a lovely family with 2 small kids, only to party ( with use of drugs) for 2 nights in a row leaving about €5000 in damages and counting: the smell of smoke is unbearable, puke, holes in the walls, a broken sink, clogged toilets, damaged floor, a broken piano...

Since then I have been targeted by these people, and I received strange enquiries  and also one reservation(football player name with ID verified...) from profiles with verified ID; at my request to provide full real names of all the occupants and to be all present upon arrival with photo ID, in addition to sign a responsibility agreement, they all disappeared.

I wonder if the security checks carried out by Airbnb need some serious improvement. In the past, I've been always felt confident taking reservations from Airbnb as opposite to other platforms. Now I feel that this is not going to happen anymore.

Anyone had my same bad experience?
