I'm sorry for the problems other hosts have had with receiving payments, and how some guests complained their room wasn't up to cleanliness standards. THere is a way to post concerns on the site to alert future travelers. I am a host with six rooms available in my large home on Maui. I have a housekeeping staff that assure each room is spotless before a guest enters. I have been paid promptly by airbnb and I love that they handle the monetary conversions from the euro and send me a direct wire in US dollars. So many people have had great experiences with airbnb I want to add that it has been awesome for me and for my guests.
