We should all gather together and sue them for the time they make us waste putting up useless profiles, imagine a dating service that let you see each other and know what city you were in, say NEW YORK, but that was it... might as well be a dating site full of "fake profiles" as you cannot contact each other without paying hidden fees,

They offer movies free with ads, but I found it to be a bait and switch tactic. Why give dishonest steamers a chance with so many options available for streaming? I wish I'd read reviews BEFORE going to the trouble of signing up and before being tricked and only THEN coming to write a review and seeing that had I JUST READ FIRST, I could have avoided the cheats altogether. First time this has happened to me--done a search on Roku and found a movie offered as free, but it was a lie.

Wow, first and last experience! I don't know what AIRBNB is doing for the handsome service charges they get! I think I paid an $86 dollar fee and this is such a SCAM, worse than craigslist & ebay in their early years! NOT SAFE!

They make sure their site looks like a safe place VIA REVIEWS and the REVIEWS are a total SCAM because you can ONLY LEAVE reviews at the end of your stay. If your host cancels on you after you arrive, NO REVIEWS ALLOWED! Can you imagine that? You book a place for a week, pack up your things and family, arrive at your destination and your hosts cancels and there is nothing, absolutely NOTHING you can do--AIRBNB does not care! And they make sure you cannot tell anyone about your hosts action! You're stranded in a busy vacation area and then have to pay out of the nose for a place that likely isn't even close to where you expected to be!

Any positive reviews on the site are useless because if everyone were allowed to leave reviews of their TRUE experience the place would go out of business.

I hope someone takes this idea and RUNS IT CORRECTLY and monitors and makes it safe and guaranteed and runs this AIRBNB out of business. They offer all kinds of incentives to get people to lure others into this very bad situation. I'm making sure everyone I know never falls for this place like we did!
