    Another tip...which is very important...is to ask the host to check the apartment before you leave, to confirm that everything is left in the same condition as you found it. I'm not paranoid but I took pix of the apartment I stayed in (obviously time stamped) right before I was being picked up to go to the airport.

    I booked an apartment while ago,I've never thought I would have problem with the kitchen,I guess i should have asked how it works or if it works in any way,so u are totally right about the kitchen

    EXCEPTIONAL! Seems you've thought of everything that I wouldn't. This will be my first AirBnB and you have really set me at ease. I am 56 and my sister is 60, her first time also, now all I have her to do is convince her to 'TAKE A LEAP'! Thanks a lot...much success to you.

  • @oliviaortegasosa7032
    @oliviaortegasosa7032 6 років тому

    Hello, your tips are amazing, im new at this and I have a doubt, I sent three messages to different hosts but the thing is I dont want to make a reservation yet, Im just asking questions to decide for one of them, the thing also is one of them have pre-aprobed my stay. How can I decline it? do I send a message to the host telling that I cannot stay , is that a bad evaluation for me in the app?

    You forgot my tip. The wifi password is usually printed on the bottom of the router in most countries!

  • @nickb.8129
    @nickb.8129 5 років тому

    As a guest, I always examine the home just after check-in to look for any damage, then I take pics. Important to do this right away. Waiting a few days into the stay will reflect that in the camera time/date stamp, and an unscrupulous host can try to pin the damage on you. Airbnb will back you up if you have this kind of evidence!

  • @DeusExMachino
    @DeusExMachino 6 років тому

    Actually on my first airbnb in Guadalajara I had a bad experience with the unit , I didnt have Wi-fi for 2 days and I was pretty upset and I didnt want to make such a big deals cause it was my first time getting an apartment through airbnb. So, I didnt want to risk getting bad feedback from the host, but the host resolved my issue.I suggest if anyone has a similar issue and if things dont work out contact airbnb and they will inmidiately accomodate in a hotel. Overall I will be using airbnb in my future trips to Mexico

    Is likely to get scammed? I have a hard time trusting sites I'm not used to.

    • @HereBeBarr
      @HereBeBarr  8 років тому +3

      I've never been scammed by Airbnb. They're VERY reputable. If i was a first-timer I would recommend staying with hosts with many references. But Airbnb will cover you in case anything goes wrong.

    When someone books one of my listings, I have to go in and manually block off other listings I have that are connected to the same property. This is a continual waste of time for hosts with several properties and it opens the door to possible mistakes. These mistakes lead to AirBnB profiting from penalties. it also leads to hosts having to wait on hold for 30 min or more trying to fix the issue. It also leads to penalties for the guests. They actually seem to charge the guest for just attempting to book. AirbBnB is very capable of turning this on they way they sync the calendars for competitors sites. I’m guessing they are allowing they so they can gather info on the competition. But they are creating tremendous stress for their hosts because they are benefiting. Is there anyone who can get ahold of the media to call them out for this?

    • @attorneyreid7
      @attorneyreid7 7 років тому

      Dip333 it's true about the key. I just got back from Italy where I used Airbnb in Venice. The first night I got to the house it was late, dark and I couldn't find the keys so I have the taxi drove me to a hotel because the host does not live at the house it's completely a Airbnb rental. The next morning I contacted the host to meet me. She showed me where the key was hidden and I wasn't surprised that I couldn't find it. She took me to my room (which was very clean and nice at € 20 a night) and the door was very complicated! While we were inside the room I asked her how to use the key because it needed to be locked with the key when I'm inside the room. Well, the door had a key hole with a round dial like thing above it which I've never seen before. You need both hands to lock the door. While you're turning the key to the left you have to turn the dial thing to the right and you need to do both simultaneously! I tried it and it took over 5 minutes. Even the host was struggling. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen! We went outside to lock the door and it was even a bigger struggle. After 10 minutes of struggling and the host couldn't locked the door she concluded that the lock was broken and needed to be fixed. Thank God it was 10am and she had the whole day to get someone to fixed it. When I returned at 9:00pm with my friend who is Italian he struggled with the door and say he's never seen a lock like that before. It took me 2 days to figure it out but once I did it was easy!
