  “In the past there has been an incentive for becoming an Airbnb host. This is not currently available”

  Hah! Too much Airbnb hosts at the moment?!

  Received around 1k avios for Airbnb booking in HKG back in April which was later cancelled for full refund due to covid. Kinda expect the avios to be taken back but it hadn’t. 😊

  I made a reservation under the 3 points per £ offer on 24th July, so the rate cut from 3 points to 2 points per £ has occurred in the last 6 days.

    Hmmm, strange! Mine was based 2 avios per £. Booed late 2019. Good for you though. 😉

    Now that I check, 3 points per £ is showing for me *today* still!

  I would trust a major hotel chain that publishes a Covid-19 cleaning strategy over an airbnb at the moment for a trip anywhere. I had friends stay for a couple of months this year at an airbnb place and had to pay a weekly cleaning fee but it was never carried out.

    The cleaning fee should be in the price. I suspect many hosts clean the place themselves.

    Bookings at our airbnb are at above average levels and the feed back is they trust a self contained unit over using hotels ( based on 6 stays since July 6th 5 of which were in the 55- 70 age group ). Reviews on airbnb can only be submitted by the person who stayed so are more reliable than some review sites.

    “I would trust a major hotel chain that publishes a Covid-19 cleaning strategy over an airbnb at the moment for a trip anywhere.”

    Airbnb has a cleaning strategy that hosts pledge to carry out.

      “Airbnb has a cleaning strategy that hosts pledge to carry out.”

      I think pledge is the optimal word here. Their reputation doesn’t get tarnished as much as a chain. airbnb will just shrug its shoulders and say it’s got nothing to do with them and to take it up with the owner.

    I think that, whether a hotel or individually owned properties like Airbnb, the cleaning is only as good as the person doing it. Having a commitment to do something by an overarching company does not mean it will be followed. Likewise, some Airbnb owners will take great pride on doing things to the best of their ability and others will not be bothered to put extra effort in.
