We run a Bed and Breakfast in Blind Bay B. C. Canada. We refuse to list with Air B&B for many reasons. We can't talk to the potential client until they're standing at our door. Air B&B charges us a percentage of each booking while charging the guest a minimum $30.00 fee just for letting the guest find our B&B on their site. It's outright robbery. I've heard of people having to pay Air B&B hundreds of dollars over the cost of the accommodations. I'm the business owner and it's my responsibility to pay for advertising. NOT MY GUESTS! We list our B&B on BBCanada.com and it costs our guests nothing to book with us other than the simple cost of the room. We continually get emails from Air B&B all the time to list with them and I would never do it. Personally I think anyone who lists or books with Air B&B are fools. They're just throwing their money away and can never speak directly to me with their questions. Besides that I've had guests tell us horror stories about fraudulent places that list with Air B&B and the guest never sees their money again. For anyone looking to travel across Canada, I highly recommend you check out BBCanada website. It can't hurt can it? I don't think you'll ever go back to Air B&B. I can't say enough bad things about them
