The verification process is beyond intrusive. I submitted the last four digits of y social security number, something I agonized over and regretted. After midnight, my credit card was fraudulently used....something which has never happened to me. My bank contacted me and cancelled the card. I contacted AirBnB via email. They never read it and sent me an autoreply, which I replied to. It is late on 6/25 and they have not sent another reply.<br />WOW-this is the new business model?

...I have a hard time believing this is not a hoax..<br />First, there are no photos, of anything. Then even after realizing there was something not right, you went ahead with the transaction. You say you were traveling, yet your passport was in the apartment. Why would anyone leave their valuables/ pieces of sentimental value behind knowing a stranger would be in their home? It just does not add up. You either have no common sense at all, or shit luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-32135304881123212552014-11-06T17:03:06.783-05:002014-11-06T17:03:06.783-05:00We as hosts are sitting ducks.

All requests by us hosts for fair resolution without a high ranking lawyer or money behind us are treated with offhanded decline of our valid requests. <br /><br />"Airbnb's $900,000 CAD Host Guarantee<br />For ultimate peace of mind, we've got your property protected. Every eligible booking, every time." THIS IS A FALSE STATEMENT. <br /><br />This year a guest brought bedbugs from a hostel to my home while staying for a month. Even though she knew she got bit, still failed to tell us and make the right steps in eliminating the infestation. It cost us 1300.0 to fix this issue and the loss of one month rent. <br /><br />A couple months later, a guest unplugged the power cord to the freezer for no reason at all! <br />Never told the host. <br />Loss of almost 900.00 for 150 booking. <br /> I wonder how many of us hosts requests for compensation are shrugged aside and the disrespectful behaviour of inconsiderate, disrespectful guests then condoned and fostered. NOT OK! <br />The new Trust & Safety team continues to decline every request in an offhand manner . <br /><br />A guest can cause 10x the harm of the booking and you have nowhere to go with your case !!! <br />We learned that the hard way that Airbnb has no value for its hosts. This last off handed judgement was delivered by Airbnb Trust and Safety Team November 6th 2014<br /><br /> Ill be happy to share the details with anyone on the process and how ridiculous the reasons are for failing to protect us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-74436824880672969912014-09-11T01:12:11.947-04:002014-09-11T01:12:11.947-04:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.ratan mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16457314112690247674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-12152997649038205602014-08-19T10:00:30.544-04:002014-08-19T10:00:30.544-04:00we enjoyed so much your home ! lolwe enjoyed so much your home ! lolDj Pattrsonhttp://img.over-blog.com/296x296/1/01/97/74/miss-peggy/facedebouc.pngnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-29881368052742327452014-08-16T03:19:33.740-04:002014-08-16T03:19:33.740-04:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169543847040658356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-4774386617915139782014-08-15T11:16:23.519-04:002014-08-15T11:16:23.519-04:00Hi I'm sorry for that..Hi I'm sorry for that..davidcummingshttp://www.homerentlistings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-77812167188392775092014-08-08T02:59:27.028-04:002014-08-08T02:59:27.028-04:00Thanks For sharing with us.I just wanted to say th...Thanks For sharing with us.I just wanted to say that I really empathize, and you have help many other AirBNB renters rethink their choices. <br /><a href="http://www.inventive-smi.com/inventivesmi/appointment-setting-services" rel="nofollow">Appointment setting Company</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608215829133282233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-32712390584338485912014-07-29T15:16:28.879-04:002014-07-29T15:16:28.879-04:00Are you still checking this blog?

I worked in the trust&safety Department of airbnb and checked new listings and hosts on a daily base. The interesting fact I approached there is the low security standards airbnb put on potential new hosts and jeopardize the safety of all guests. If you want to host airbnb guests you can grab any pictures from the internet like a nice five star villa or a beautiful castle and declare yourself as the `official owner` of this listing, you do not need to provide any form of ID or Proof of Ownership like a Utility bill of the listing. This means in fact that almost more than 50 Percent of the listings on airbnb are fake or put from drug dealers or other criminals to make `the easy money` with the dumb tourists. Trust&Safety just work this way, that they take a look on the Pictures of the listing and declare them as genuine or not. There is no background-check put in place what kind of host you can expect (even serial-killer or Drug Dealers could be hosts at airbnb) . And if the host need to provide a ID they can easely fool the automated security system by providing any kind of Photo ID, the automated system called Jumio accept even Library ID`s . I discussed this issue with my Manager who is responsible for the Security of the listings and he replied to me back that airbnb don`t want to put much restrains on new hosts to register with airbnb (!!!) Sorry, every banking institution or Gambling Website has better security measures in place to prevent Criminals to do their illegal activities but on airbnb every Criminal is warm welcomed to register as a host without hassle to be security checked. You don`t believe it? Try to register yourself at airbnb website as a host with any `funny Name` and put the `Oval Office` as your listing, you will be surprised how quick you are `approved` and go live with this `listing` . Sounds funny, but what will happen when a Hannibal Lecter will be the next host inviting guests to stay for Dinner or even worse.
