Airbnb and Uber are two of the biggest crooks I know
At this point a real BnB is pretty much always better
Or just get a motel.
I drove cross country last year and saw signs of bedbugs in 3 of the 4 stops I'd picked out ahead of time. One of them was straight up still treating the room and even using a home remedy (had diatomaceous earth scattered all around the room) and then told me to my face they didn't know what I was talking about. From what I hear, it's only getting worse.
Airbnbs might not be any more professional about handling the situation, but at least they handle a smaller volume of people.
Weird. I drove cross country for months, staying at various motels and never had an issue with bedbugs.
Are you outside of the US?
No
All I can say then is that your experiences are unique to me.
I don't know anyone who had issues as bad as you did.
I've seen some sketchy motels in my time, which is why I stopped staying in them. Hotels, especially major chains tend to be decent to great quality, and are usually cost competitive with AirBnB according to several news stories and lemmy threads over the last 10 months or so. And they have less weird requirements about you doing bed stripping / cleaning before you leave.
Good. Nations need to start taking back more than businesses save with tax evasion techniques.
Guess who is going to charge higher prices for rentals soon?
