I see that some listings are showing as verified (ie have been inspected by an Airbnb agent). I dropped a note to Airbnb to find out a little more about this and apparently some listings have been inspected as a sort of trial. This is all they could tell me. Anyone got some meaningful information on the subject. Cheers Jeremy
Can;t offer any details - but I expect it's to combat the stories about places not being liike the photos etc.
I hope they are concentratinig on those with poor reviews - rather than wasting time on properties that have 4 or 5 star ratings. Customer reviews tell a lot and you don't need an AirBnB visit if you are satisfying your guests.
