True, but are Airbnb’s even cheaper than hotel rooms anymore in cities?
Only time I’ve found that to be true is when you have a lot of people, getting a single Airbnb can be cheaper than multiple hotel rooms. Otherwise, Airbnb’s basically are similar in price or negligibly cheaper.
I’m convinced 90% of the people complaining here don’t even travel, cause it isn’t even close. AirBnB is just cheaper almost everywhere I’ve been.
Couple months ago in Austin Texas.
Cheapest hotel: 250 a night.
Airbnb in walking distance of good stuff, right outside downtown: $100 a night.
Don’t have the numbers off the top of my head, but Finger lakes region in NY it was cheaper. In Portland it was cheaper. Lincoln Nebraska it was cheaper.
Just got done booking AirBnBs in Japan, cause they were cheaper than hotels.
Dunno what you’re doing to make airbnbs the same price as hotels tbh.
I just checked Airbnb prices in Austin with flexible pricing for a weekend, and the only way I could even sniff $100 a night is if I turned on “Display total price,” which factors in the cleaning fee. Turning it on rockets up the price.
The cheapest place that gives you the whole place to yourself on Airbnb is the Holiday Inn lol.
Which again, supports my experience of hotels being competitive. They’ve only just given you the option to turn on “Display total price,” so if you’re browsing Airbnb’s before, the price didn’t include the exorbitant cleaning fees which is how the owners hid their prices.
Maybe worth taking a look at those receipts in your email to see if you actually paid $100 a night. If 90% of people are complaining, either your a genius or it’s actually a real issue ;)

I find it to almost always be cheaper. Staying with kids makes it much better as well.
Yes.

You’re right, I didn’t count the cleaning and service fee.
My total price for the entire trip was $538 for 4 nights.
Still cheaper than a hotel.
90% of people are not complaining. You’re creating an echo chamber for yourself if you truly think that.
