Most of the pictures look like the owners have made it very hotel like and all of their personal stuff has been stowed away somewhere. Does AirBnd have some standards the owners must meet before a house/unit can be rented? There's no inspection. All they ask is it complies with current state laws etc. The guy I bought mine off of rented it a few times per month but put no effort into it. It sleeps six and has a big kitchen but he never allowed cooking. He was sitting on a gold mine but didn't have a clue. Ive used a good few airbnb here and the majority are better than hotels. Most have kitchens etc and an owner with contacts that get you cheap tours, motorbike hire etc. My last one literally only supplied a bed but there was 5 of us and it was way cheaper than a hotel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm that you must actually stay at the place to post a review? If so the the reviews DO become much more relevant. They dont. No way can you review a property unless you have stayed there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, what's with the no cooking thing? I was looking at a few condos near mall of Asia, and they nearly all stipulated no cooking. That sort of makes it pointless staying in a condo. Back to red planet for me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand if the rule was no cooking smoked fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
