"AirBnB doesn't contact law enforcement when hidden cameras are found, EVEN WHEN CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED." That's all I need to hear. Goodbye AirtBnB.

@RidingwithStymie what are your options when traveling internationally? EDIT: It seems like some people in this thread have a hard time with Reading Comprehension, suffer from ADHD, or are just looking to offload their Complex Trauma on strangers from behind their virtual shield of anonymity. So let me clarify a few things: 1. I know hotels and hostels exist. I have tried them all. They don't provide enough services/amenities for travelers like me. Hence, AirBnB became so popular... millions of other people feel the same way. This is NOT in dispute. 2. Security cameras on a property are not illegal but MUST be disclosed. Cameras in PRIVATE areas are 100% illegal. _This is NOT in dispute!_ AirBnB has this rule explained clearly. 3. Any host caught breaking the law MUST be reported DIRECTLY to the police and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 4. Since we all (presumably) agree on #2 and #3, the question becomes, HOW is AirBnB supposed to PREVENT the crime in the FIRST PLACE? What are the options? AKA: We all understand the problem, so let's talk about SOLUTIONS. _PREEMPTIVE_ solutions. 🛠

This is so frightening. I once booked an Airbnb in Florida for my partner, I, and my preteen daughter. I took screenshots of the listing and it said a full house all to ourself. After I booked, the host changed the listing to only giving out one or two bedrooms of the house he lives in. He then started sending me messages asking about the age and gender of my child, also said my partner and I could have a bedroom on one side of the house and there was a smaller bedroom for children close to his own on the other side.... I told him the original listing was different and I didn't feel comfortable, he said he would not accept a cancellation because it was in the terms. I told him I had screenshots of the listing and our conversation, and I would call Airbnb to report this. He immediately agreed to the cancellation but I still reported him. Airbnb did not respond whatsoever. This man was clearly a danger to children, they couldn't care less. I wasn't able to leave a review of any kind because of the cancellation.

So Airbnb will remove the host if somebody finds a camera in their rental but they don't notify other hosts or notify the police that not just adults but children may have been recorded and god knows where the footage ends up. And they go to extreme lengths and cost to cover it up rather than report the crime. The mind boggles at the depravity of their greed.
@mensesmimi16 күн бұрын
Ironically the damage to their reputation is actually worse from it being revealed that they try to cover it up rather than if Airbnb had directly implemented policies to protect the people that use it and report crimes to police. People would feel safer using Airbnb if they had shown transparency and responsibility but now people will think of it as sketchy and as the company protecting criminals. They need to do what Uber did when it was developing a reputation for sexual assaults and robberies that happened through the app and implement more safety measures.

AirBNB can be really good, I drive every few months from WA to Nevada or CA and I have to go through eastern Oregon on US 395 or 97 and there are very few hotels or motels and many are nasty and they still charge like $150 even for some nasty place. Instead I have become a repeat guest of a few AIrBNB places like a family farm in Eastern OR is a great stop just at the 9 hour drive mark on the border with CA. They converted a barn in to like 3 or 4 rooms and such nice people they make you breakfast and charge $80 so even cheaper than a motel. But like everything in life it's just making good choices and being very careful where you choose to stay same for Motels too, so many are nasty, bug infested crime holes too, maybe people go there for prostitutes or to take drugs it's all about making good choices to avoid problems like that same for AirBNB or motels

I used AirBnB once, and it was a horrible experience. The room (in a hostel, not advertised as such) was filthy, appeared not like advertised at all. There were no bedclothes, the trashcan was overflowing, and the window opened onto a roof where everyone was partying. I left next morning and checked into a hotel. When I returned home, I posted a review with photos of the room. They were up only a day or so, then removed by, I assume, AirBNB. Never again. And I never recommend them to anyone.

Fuck AirBnB, but as someone who works in customer service, talking to multiple representatives is just an unfortunate reality for any customer service team. We all take breaks, lunches, days off, maybe our kid needed to be picked up from school. We don't necessarily have the ability to be your only contact with a company. This is no even taking into consideration of course that 70% of the time someone tries to contact us back, we are already on the phone or helping a different customer. So the contact will just be routed to someone else. Should companies invest way more into their customer service so we aren't spread so thin? Absolutely. But to a certain extent what you described, there's only so much even the best CS department can do.

They had cameras all over the house and, when asked, deliberately lied about it (I initially had suspicions, but couldn’t prove anything, so I flat out asked). The fact that people think they’re entitled to FORCE themselves into someone else’s privacy is beyond sickening. I eventually caught on to what the ex-friend was (really) up to and to this day, we haven’t spoken in years. I hope people like this get every rotten thing they deserve.

So the anti-airBnB hotel lobby funded hit pieces have succeeded with you. Does it not concern you that there are just as many, if not more, cameras hidden in motels and hotel rooms? They don't actually have to be installed by the manager - previous guests can install them and simply connect them to the cell phone system or to the hotel wifi - how often do they change the wifi password? All data is encrypted - you'd need to hire some pretty sophisticated investigators to discover rogue cameras broadcasting.

It is I stayed at 4 Airbnb properties had the sane issue at all of them, the biggest question is how are majority of people who stay at these ok with this, the properties had really good reviews thats why i picked them but they all turned out to be creeps watching me and family on their cameras, me and my wife completely stopped using airbnb because of this

Exactly unregulated rentals wtf do yalll expect?

@@trisetfitnesstv6315 it's not so much that it's unregulated so you shouldn't expect any better. Even regulated is pretty meaningless unless you get caught. I was thinking more along the lines of "people invariably suck." If you can think about it, someone else has definitely also thought about it, and even acted on it. Your worst nightmares? The most degenerate thing you can imagine? That's someone else's Monday evening. To think there aren't people out there illegally recording strangers (or friends and neighbours) for their own sick satisfaction is incredibly naïve.

It's because they all make money off Air BnB. The city, state, taxes, etc. It's big money!

I do not see how a TOS can protect a company from illegal activity.

i once "found" an undisclosed camera in my airbnb in vietnam. first they said it was broke. then they claimed it was only for the chinese guests who demanded it. then they claimed it was for my protection. as it wasn't hidden but right in the main hallway outside the bathroom and not disclosed etc. i had them agree to allowing me to disable it myself. i later found that a lot of places in vn will do this and won't delare them unless you say something. in mexico i once had to leave a place because a guy had undisclosed cameras all ver the property. my thing is, if you can't be honest about your cameras, you're probably not being honest about other things.

If you're hosting RB&B, you're probably not an upstanding citizen.

@@rigelb9025 not convinced about that. i met lots of good folks through the platform. what i do, however, if i meet someone good, is that i'll eventually just rent through them directly and not through the platform. i stayed in a great place in VN through a great landlord for 2 years during the pandemic. i stayed 2 years in mexico in the mountains on an orchard after my father passed with a wonderful family. there are tons of scammers, too. but the crux is to be a good citizen yourself so you can settle things off the platform, because the platform is the problem.

Airbnb, along with their offending hosts, should be charged with human trafficking, exploitation, wiretapping, invasion of privacy, and any number of crimes. They ACTIVELY promote and facilitate these crimes when they contract with hosts who spy on guests in interior spaces.
