I do understand some of these, like smoking. But $25 for left on lights?

Well...I must say...now, don't hate me for this, but maybe get a frickin hotel room.? Just saying.

"Not using a coaster, you just bought the whole house." I'll stick to hotels, thanks.

Good grief

It's like some people thought they could earn steady income through a side hustle home, realize how incredibly expensive the upkeep/bills/mortage add up. This person probably eaves one window unlocked every time someone checks in.

Based on value for money, I think that I will purchase the "Fridge Left Open" at $25 (Bonus if it's a Fridge/Freezer as there's no extra charge, and I'm able to use the remainder of my condiments in creative ways prior to disposal) & seeing as it's a 2 for 1 deal I will also purchase the "Stove/Oven Left On" at $25 (if it is a gas stove, for obvious safety reasons, I will make sure to light all of the burners prior to leaving).

shall we also mention the hidden cameras in many Airbnbs? and lack of security, i.e. no lock boxes for personal items? this is an open opportunity for thieves and crooked hosts

Any laughter will result in law enforcement being called.

I get that most of these are to encourage respect to one's property, but some aren't reasonable.

I live in Florida and work in tandem with the Vacation Home/Tourist industry. The people complaining about "airbnb" charges are the people who created this niche industry because hotels were too expensive. I work with the people who manage the properties and are responsible for the upkeep. 80% of vacation rental guests are pigs. Those ridiculous fees exist because many guests just trash these homes when they stay in them. I will be glad when the Airbnb fad dies. Go back to hotels. It's what they were made for! Not these housing developments with greedy HOAS!

This is why I stay in motels.

Disgusting!!! Can stay at a hotel for much less and without all the stupor rules

Question has to be asked, does anyone rent it???

I'd be charging a whole helluva lot more if they left the stove on!!

Only $450 for smoking? I would buy cartons of cigarettes, and buy a facebook ad for my area letting everyone know that they could come have as many free cigarettes as they want as long as they smoke them inside. I'll be dammed if I don't get my money's worth on a cleaning fee.

???? NOPE! I think Air BNB'ers can do better in a hotel. The AirBNBcharges have gotten out of hand. NOPE. Just NOPE. In NM, there are counties that are starting to tax AirBNB'ers as businesses instead of regular home property taxes. One BNB'er couple just said they'll probably get out of the 'business' instead of paying higher taxes. I had to laugh. Okay. Go ahead!

So, say they accidentally left behind an unopened bottle of champagne in the fridge - which we all know the owners would keep-, they’d charge $150?? Curtain left open? Really? They didn’t mention anything about linen or bed spreads, doonas etc?

I know of a couple who drove across country for a wedding with their dog. The Air Bnb said dogs were okay until they got here. Turned out the BnB had cameras installed inside and out and decided the dog was too big. They left their dog in their car, checking it periodically and weather was cool. They left right after wedding. This air BnB owner ruined this guest’s stay by changing the rules. Hotels don’t do that and they don’t spy on you,

Likely fake, but if not then they are going to find a reason to charge extra. Btw, likely a fake

Just tell me you're tryna get rich off one stay without telling me! There was a place we stayed recently that was a good place until we saw what looked like hair wrapped all around the dish sponge (nasty), and one of the beds was gross like someone stayed in it and never took a bath. And to boot, their toilet almost fell off the axis because it wasn't tightened to the floor properly. All those things are a liability on the owners renting. I do not understand why they do this and not clean up properly after charging absorbent fees. Seems covid make crooks out of many folks because a lot of this wasn't as prevalent. Sad!

This is a joke. 😂 …right? 😶

Stalag Port Huron. Escapees will be charged extra.

Any pathetic excuse to squeeze money out of people.

so basically you can't move, touch anything, use anything or mess up anything even if accidently unnoticed, call for help clean and clean and clean and clean -

If i owned it I'd expect it looked after. These are all pretty obvious no no's.

Two percent for looking in the mirror twice!

Don’t stay there. Simple.

lol

Can anybody who actually used an Airbnb answer a question? WHY? Even half decent hotels are a lot less cost and hassle.

Yeah. I live in Michigan and i've seen similar all over. People are crazy. .

if your need to pi ss your drink it or its 500$ and s**t your eat it or its 10000$
