It’s for this reason that any traveler on Airbnb would benefit from reading guests’ reviews as they browse accommodations from hosts. These reviews provide deeper insight into the host and their property, beyond what the former has to say.
Travelers who really want to play it safe even have the option of sticking with hosts who have not just good reviews, but good reviews from recent guests. On Airbnb, every single review lists the month and year of the traveler’s stay.
Use Airbnb’s many available search filters
Other people who complain about their experiences with Airbnb assert that the accommodations they ended up with were not to their liking. However, the platform comes with integrated filters to help travelers find properties that align with their preferences.
Upon entering a location into the search engine, the icon in the upper right hand corner reveals a plethora of available filters. These filters allow guests to sort out lodgings according to the type of place, price range, room/bed numbers, individual amenities, accessibility features, booking options, and more.
