Anyone else got any Airbnb tips or mistakes to avoid?! Thank you for watching! 💕Check the description box for more!
I used Airbnb for the first time this year. My advice to people is if you can afford to, get the place to yourself versus sharing a space and getting a private room. I thought I would be okay with sharing a space but trust when you get there depending on who you share with you will feel it. It definitely will feel like it's not a place to yourself.
I agree!! Having the place to yourself is the most ideal. And it's nice when you come back from a long day of exploring the city knowing you can have the place to yourself and not have to worry about anyone else. Thanks for sharing! 💕
I stayed at my first bnb last year. I'm sort of an introvert and it was in a home with my own private room and 2 shared bathrooms. There was 6 bedrooms in total but only 2 were taken up when I was there. I was nervous at first but I actually loved it. I spoke to the owners who lived there a couple of times but other than that they didn't bug me one bit. I'm planning on traveling again this winter and I'll be staying at another one for sure.
Love the lighting for this video 🤎 thanks for the info also ✨😌
God Bless you , love you have a beautiful day !
Thank you!! God bless you too! Thank you for watching! 💕
Damn straight to the point! Kudos for that.
Hahahaha thanks for watching! 💕
New subscriber and really enjoying your tips, thank you! 👍
Oh yay! Welcome!! 🎉So happy to have you! Thank you for watching! 💕
Really appreciate the work you put into this video. We're just now looking into the AirBnB thing
Aww thank you! Good luck! Safe travels. 💕
Thanx for the information 👍🏼is always useful to learn from experience people. I have never booked on Airbnb so this is useful 🙂. I enjoy your videos keep them coming 😃
Thank you, Mireya! I’m glad it was helpful in case you ever need or want to book an Airbnb. Thank you for watching! 💕
I’ll be staying in my first Airbnb‘s in October. Venice, Florence and Rome. I think I did a good job on my choices. The two key amenities for me was a washer/dryer and an elevator. I’m older and refuse to climb stairs with luggage. Fingers crossed 💕
Yay! Yes! I hope it goes well and you don’t have any issues. 🤞🏾Enjoy your trip! 💕
As a longtime solo traveller I am really enjoying your videos and all of your tips are spot-on.
Aww thank you so much! 🥰Thank you for watching! Happy and safe travels to you! 💕
Great thank-you very much
Thank you for watching! 💕
Thank you very informative. Sign up and want to plan a stay in June!😃
Awesome stuff!! Read all the reviews and have a blast!! 💕
@@KRodCollective Will do and thanks again!😃
Your tips are spot on. Yes, go with a superhost, read the reviews, pay a fair price, message the host. Use the filters: we’ve gone for an entire house, off street parking (rental car) and washing machine on our UK trip next month for a month from 🇦🇺.
Yes!! Thanks Anne! 💕
I booked one private room with it's own bathroom but at the site I found out that the bathroom is shared...🙄 so never again. Since then I only get an entire apartment/studio.
Ugh that’s annoying! Did it say private bathroom on the listing? Yes! Entire apartments are nice! 💕
Thank you...
Thank you for watching! 💕
Hi there! Thank you so much already for your insight into this. Could you tell about refunds for people who are using debit cards ? The first timers
Hi Isnain! The process should be the same. Although I don’t anymore, I have used debit cards for Airbnb and haven’t had an issue. I do know that all Airbnb refunds are only issued to the original form of payment. But if you have any issue with this, you could also dispute it with your bank. Make sure to document everything and have all the evidence to back you up. 💕
Thanks so much for this video! I’m planning on taking my first solo trip in October for my birthday to PR. I’ve seen some good looking listings in the area I want to stay in that’s within my budget with a super host. I’ve heard that they’re more recommended as you’ve stated as well. But I get a little iffy when it’s a new listing with no reviews or little reviews. Is that trustworthy? Also, how would you know what to trust or not? How would I go about that?
Yay!! I hope you have a wonderful trip to PR for your birthday! Yes, new Airbnb listing can be difficult. I tend to stay away from them until they get a few reviews, just for my own well being. Honestly, all you can really do is trust what you are reading in the reviews and go with your gut. Def reach out to the host and try to get a vibe and sense of how they are and take time to read a lot of reviews in detail. It takes some time but it will be worth it. However, also make sure to check the prices of the hotels too. Because sometimes the prices can be the same and you may feel more secure in a hotel. It’s all up to how you feel. Good luck and safe travels! 💕
in new to airbnb, still need to book my first stay, "researching" about it all it seems difficult / a hassle
Hi!!!I get that. It can be a little daunting at first, but it’s a lot easier than it seems. Just try to be as smart about it as you can. Also, don’t forget to cross reference your searches with hotels because sometimes an Airbnb just isn’t worth it. All depends on your needs. 💕
I usually book the entire place for my self so I don't have problem with sharing. However, I don't like that I'm being charged with all those fees, especially cleaning fees when I have to make sure the place is spotless when I check out. It's even worse when I have to clean the mess from previous guests during my check in. Isn't that what the fees is for?
Exactly! I don't like that either. I've been staying at hotels more these days because some of the cleaning fees and requests from hosts can be too much for me. Like why are you asking me to strip the bed and unload the dishwasher? 🤔 Make it make sense.
Hello, I Love your videos. Question: If a super host just opened up a new apartment and hardly have any reviews on that particular apartment, but have great reviews on the other apartments in the same area, would you choose the new apartment to stay at?
Hi!! Thank you for watching them! That's a good question. I've run into this a couple of times. I would message the host and ask all the questions I could and I would proceed with caution. Sometimes it's fine, if it's a new listing, it is to be expected. But you can never be too sure or too picky. 💕
I literally just asked my gf this question!
Hello when I pay half to reserve how Airbnb protects my payment like if I arrived and don’t like what I see can I cancel ?
Hi there! Hmm I’m not too sure. But if it’s dirty or different from what’s listed, make sure you take lots of pictures and document everything, then contact Airbnb customer service. Hope this helps! 💕
Also, Are there any unspoken rule about an Airb&b host having free cancelation 48 hours after booking instead of the month before you arrived at their place?
Yes! This can happen. Airbnb does have a cancellation policy for its hosts but sometimes they will break this. It's never happened to me personally, but I do know that it can happen. If they break this, they should be subjected to a fine and you should be able to receive a credit to book a new stay or be given a full refund. They are also supposed to be fined by Airbnb as well. So this is why it's important to do as much vetting as you can. I hope this helps! 💕 Sorry, it's not so positive news.
I wish I had found this video before I booked my first Airbnb stay. I got burned on a booking when there were red flags with the host and I cancelled and they kept my deposit. I will NEVER use Airbnb again.
Oh noooooo!!! 😭I’m so sorry that happened to you. Airbnb has really gone down hill over the past few years. I’m finding myself staying in them less and less. 😩
I’m taking my first solo trip to Nigeria to meet my boyfriend. I recently booked my air b&b for a beach resort but it a resort not an actual apartment. It’s new to air b&b and new hotel but I check reviews on the website and on GPS. What’s the difference between a resort or apartment in air b&b?
Some resorts post their rooms to Airbnb. But I would take a resort over a regular Airbnb any day! LOL I hope you had an amazing trip! 💕
Very true, I’m excited. I leave this weekend
@@victoriajackson6997 YAY!! Enjoy!! Safe travels to you! 💕
@@KRodCollectiveThank you!

How is not knowing what your're looking for a mistake? you have to look to figure out what you want because how are you going to know?
I understand this. That's a good way to look at it.
You cannot know in advance whether you will like an Airbnb or not. Some of the hosts are really jerks. They may talk like they are noble persons with high ideals, but still cheat you out of your payments. The central AIRBNB organization cannot be relied on to get you a refund if you are being cheated by the local host or manager. Let the buyer beware, do not take wooden nickles should be the motto. If you do not know a particular house, do not rent for very long. Then if they try to cheat you, you do not lose as much as you would if you booked for a month or more. Some hosts are cooperative, helpful and great, others are nasty and mean spirited. The central helpers do not do much to get you a refund. There seems to be no guarantee of satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. And that means you may not get your money back. Do not just assume you can trust a given host or manager or house. And do not rely on all positive evaluations on the site advertising a given accommodation. Take it easy and only rent for a short period. If you then feel you can trust the people, reserve again. If the place is rented to someone else, you might have to look for a different place, but you still have safeguared your money, and hopefully you will find a nicer place with friendlier hosts.
Thank you!
Some people love to view bad things other people.
So true!
