@Chris22452 No I don't think Airbnb is in any trouble. You see there is a thing called market forces and this, along with Darwinian selection, will ensure overpriced under delivering hosts will fail and the better hosts will succeed.
Its interesting because I have just read a Daily Telegraph article purporting to show how much more expensive Airbnb is than hotels for a 1 night stay. Now if we offered 1 night stays we would be expensive relative to hotels because we use our cleaning fee to discourage people coming for 1 night. Not because we are greedy but because WE choose (in a democracy this is our right) to only offer a 3 night min stay.
What I think you also need to recognise is that many hosts offer things you cannot get even in high end hotels. We are in the countryside and yet only 5 minutes form the city of Derby - The cheap hotels are in the worst inner city areas. We offer free parking and it doesn't phase us when guests turn up with trailers as we can accommodate them (albeit with a bit of difficulty). We offer a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and utensils to allow healthy meals to be cooked - Something I would have killed for when I travelled in my job and craved beans on toast!
BUT, and this is fundamentally important, if you want a fully cooked or buffet breakfast and don't want the above then book a hotel not an Airbnb. They are different things and suit different people.
Oh and I should have said we are not licensed to serve food so no amount of whining about there being no B at our Airbnb will make us offer breakfast.
