Personally, I’m fed up with Airbnb. While it used to be a great hotel alternative in its early days, I find that it’s only really worthwhile if I’m traveling with a large group.
For trips with just one other person, I almost always prefer a normal hotel. Not to mention the increasing amount of Airbnb fails people are sharing online. That being said, hotels aren’t without their flaws, but at least I don’t have to worry about washing the sheets before I check out.
It’s not uncommon for guests to vent their frustrations online. While I’ve certainly had my fair share of travel nightmares, some of the hotel fails and Airbnb horror stories I’ve come across online are truly unforgettable.
