My girlfriend and I have had a room booked through Airbnb for the better part of two months or so. Imagine our shock when I had received an email from the host stating that the reservation had been cancelled. No reason, no explanation, just cancelled. You would imagine that a company would require its hosts to at least explain the reasoning behind their actions, but not all companies are Airbnb. To add insult to injury, Airbnb credited us $29 to go toward another booking. This seems like a fair gesture, if the reservation wouldn't have been cancelled literally at the last minute, that is. This left us with either having to pay a highly inflated price on a last minute option or choosing somewhere that wasn't particularly appealing to either of us. I took the refund. Airbnb is a failed experiment. You can't even contact them through email to express your displeasure. Save yourself a headache and just book a hotel.

Wretched.

The website barely works. So you can expect the servers to crash just about every 2 hours. So what can be worse than a website that barely works you ask? There have been certain aspects of the website that the developers decided to implement that render it frustrating and a horrible experience.

Example #1: You have a limit on how many messages you can send a day. The worst part is, the website doesn't even tell you when you've reached your limit! You could be sending messages all day (to which the website displays sent) and the messages aren't even delivered! Be careful too, because if you do go over your 40 a day limit (which you have to keep count yourself) you will be permanently IP banned.

Example #2: The website is a scam. Plain and simple. You'll often be notified that there are women in the area that want to "meet you". Come to find out, this is a feature that's only available to paying members, so if you have any interest in seeing who these people are, plan on paying a monthly fee. Free dating website? Hardly.

Example #3: The website is hideous. It honestly doesn't look it's been updated since 2005. Navigating the website is confusing and slow.

Example #4: Don't actually expect to meet anyone. This website barely has a userbase for anyone not living in a large city. That is, unless, you want to meet really old women with nothing better to do than log on this website.

Just stay away. This website doesn't even deserve 1-star. Way too generous.
