No, it is not the pass-through situation. (ATM, I figure that host had enough problems with the flooding ... and that the local economy is weak enough, that I'm probably just going to point out her pass-through problem without asking for anything in return.)
It is possible that different countries have different standards. That is why I posted the graph with neutral language, not indicating anything else, to gather replies. Perhaps someone does not agree with the above "a room should not be counted twice". I dunno, that's why I am asking. If someone has a differing way of looking at things, I'd like to be aware and take it into account.
It's also possible that particular cultures, such as that around Naples, are more inclined to fraud and scams, which are intentionally violation of ABB's ToS. There are possibly reasons for that, such as long domination of the local economy and businesses by the mafia.
Other hosts may simply prefer to misrepresent their listing, to gain a competitive advantage against those who do not.
Not every host is peaches and cream and the green fields of England. That does not mean that I am not highly sympathetic to my host with flooding that appears to have been entirely not her fault, and rather due to the negligence of a neighbor.
The bungling host in Milan was asked to fix a toilet, the WiFi (the third time there was an outage), and to perhaps provide a fan in 34C weather. (We bought two ourselves and left them for other guests). The review I left for them "some problems need to be addressed" was quite more generous, as I hope you are more generous to your guests.
Finally, we do have Community Standards around here about what is posted in this forum its tone... supposedly. I suggest you review them.
Otherwise, isn't presuming someone's nationality somewhat like presuming someone's gender? So 1990s.
