Airhosts Forum has a rating of 3.5 stars from 4 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Airhosts Forum ranks 124th among Hotels sites.
If you are a grown up who can take constructive criticism when you ask for help and/or feedback, this site is the most valuable I have found. Their hosts are from all over the world and many have been hosting for years and are highly successful. They pull no punches when giving advice…some people have called it the "mean girls" forum. But, seriously, they give it to you straight and you have to be able to take your lumps. Thin skinned people will be put off by their no nonsense advice but if you can handle it they can be a gold mind for learning best practices and how to handle unusual situations.
The other review is spot on. It is a very toxic tiny forum. Basically, it's 20-30 regulars who think they are the "cool kids", and are actually retired grumpy types with a 2nd bedroom homeshare. If you actually do ask a question, the likely result is being told how stupid or bad a host you are, or "why didn't you use the search feature you lazy...". Seriously. It's pretty ironic, as most of them are small time hosts. Some don't host at all, like this passive aggressive Sarah lady from Mexico. It's some strange silly high-school click, where a handful who joined a few years ago are accepted and everyone else is treated like garbage. Don't waste your time.

Don't waste your time.
Tip for consumers:
Use the forums on FACEBOOK - there are many of them, each with 30,000 - 80,000 members.
Whereas this toxic dump has about 40. LOL!
Their site description -- We are a community of AirBnb hosts. This forum is dedicated to connecting hosts with other hosts.
Free site that lets AirBnb hosts post question to fellow hosts. Answered my question about insurance related concerns.
BEWARE! Never put a link to anything that tell about you or your property. Angry troll posters call for your demise like villagers with burning pitch forks.
Also, They are more interested in making others wrong then ANSWERING the question you have.
I have only posted 3 times on this site and each time I was racked over the coals by people on the forum. There are some seriously nefarious people on this site.
A MODERATOR said "And it's also worth bearing in mind that, as all real business people know, this is called the world wide web for a reason and notably in this case because anyone in the world can read what is written here. Thanks to Google, with the information that the OP has given us about herself and her location, her listing can be found fairly easily."
An example of nefarious cyberstalking if ever there was one.
I was recently berated for merely asking how to handle an over booking situation.
One guy even called for me to be reported to AirBnb and be removed from the platform. In effect, killing my business.
I called AirBnb and was reassured that this can not happen. But, it is a bit nerve racking when you read posts that are basically "calling to arms" to injure a person for having the gall to not agree and or not grovel.
Again, these threats were made because I suggested if there was a way to cancel one guest's reservation to keep another guest in my home (that had been there for more than 4 months) longer. There are a myriad of reasons why I wanted to do this and explained why but it was not good enough for the angry villagers.
Not only were people encouraged to look up where I live, who I am but where my property is so that maximum hard could come my way should someone want to further their venomous hate. I was called greedy, cold, heartless, unethical, etc etc.
All because I ASKED if anyone had any ideas to make it a win win for all involved.
Save your time and grief by staying away from this forum.
No good comes from it.
