Booking a cabin for the family or a week long stay through airbnb can still be the more cost effective option. I always read the reviews and rules in depth before booking. The types of places that will pull what you describe usually are pretty apparent. Obviously it's still fucked that I the consumer have to go through all of that when Airbnb could just make some standards, but oh well. Personally now I avoid Airbnbs except for the two cases I mentioned. Groups and extended stays. Yes extended stay hotels do exist too, but they are hit and miss imo. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 25 points 1 month ago Ive stayed in Airbnbs like 20 times in many cities, different states, even different countries. Literally have never had any issues like what people complain about whatsoever. My cat even scratched up an (admittedly already somewhat roughed up) couch at one, not terribly but it was damaged, and the guy didnt charge me anything at all. The only issue I take with airbnbs is that there are so many that should be free market rentals or family housing rather than short term rentals permalink fedilink source parent [–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 child) Booking a cabin To clarify - booking a cabin (presumably in the middle of the woods, no neighbours?) vs booking a hotel (also in the middle of the woods, no other guests)?

You're not picking hotel alternative not because airbnb is better, but because there is no alternative. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago its cheap for large groups, but smaller groups not so much permalink fedilink source parent [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 child) That's why I always leave a tip (what others call an "upper decker"). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago I've really been working on upgrading this one but it really does the job permalink fedilink source parent [–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago Who are you choosing?
