Hi @Keri-And-Bryan0,
I subscribe to what @Lawrene0 already said!
And what about this statement: “With a hotel, what you see is what you get”
Excuse me? This is typically not true at all!
Do they get marked down on accuracy? When the view is not exactly the same, as what is shown in the pictures (typically taken from their best and most expensive room).
Another one: “Hotels won’t cancel on you with short notice”
So, hotels don’t overbook anymore?
Oh, and this one: “Airbnb has been a platform for racial discrimination”
How can you tell, the receptionist doesn’t discriminate too?
As usually the receptionist assigns the room, don’t they?
And the last one: “You can jump on a hotel room bed”.
Because it does not belong to a private person, you can do this?
In the end, everything belongs to someone private. Whether it is a shareholder of a large hotel-chain, or whether it is an Airbnb home owner!
Hotels don’t like damages or excessive wear-and-tear too.
And when they can relate damages to a guest, they will charge them for it, by a simple creditcard write off!
Personally, I think a typical Airbnb host will put up with much more, than a hotel (because of the review).
