There are many advantages to booking an Airbnb if you want to save money on travel. To do it right you must do your homework and pay attention to all the details when booking. Be sure to use filters to narrow down the search. Also be realistic and know what you want and know what you are getting. Message your perspective host if you are in doubt of anything. And the best tip is to take photos before you leave so you have proof of the condition when you left.
Key Takeaways:
- First-time users who do not want to go through the typical vetting process of a standard Airbnb experience can use the Instant Book feature — hosts can still cancel, however, if they have concerns about the reservation.
- the company will be making hosts agree to a more detailed anti-discrimination policy, increasing the availability of Instant Book listings, and experimenting with reducing the prominence of user photos.
- Eventually, though, I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Or, at the very least, embrace it from time to time, depending on what I was looking for during my travels.
“Simply refusing to include a picture of yourself in your profile is another option. Regardless, if you feel you’ve been the victim of discrimination, don’t stay quiet: Write to Airbnb immediately.”
