So... I haven't posted on the forum before but...
I've been AirBNB'ing for almost a year now. In my opinion, the option to provide stars out of 5 on the location review should be removed. Here's why;
My home is right at the beach, 4 miles from the city center (bus every 5 / 10 mins if you don't want to walk or drive). There's 6 major supermarkets between 0.5 and 5 miles of my place, there's multiple pubs / restaurants, 3 HUGE shopping malls within 5 miles, many coffee shops, a train station 4 miles away, an airport 6 miles away, shipping dock for ocean travel 3.5 miles away... my street is small, private and the garden's secluded with forestry in the area - what more does someone need? The moon plonked on the doorway??
As all rentals, the location is VISIBLE when booking as are all the amenities on the map and on my guide book. So why are people getting the option to take stars away because they aren't happy with where it is? I don't get it - its not like they are booking without any clue where they are going, or being forced to stay here.
In my opinion - not completely happy with the location - don't stay.
