Planning a trip using Airbnb can be a real gamble. Imagine this, you’ve booked a nice place for a month on the other side of the world, and suddenly, your account gets blocked for no reason. Now, you’re left with no place to stay, and getting your money back takes forever. It’s a nightmare if you’ve spent most of your travel budget on that booking. And it gets worse. If you booked during the low season and arrived in high season, prices skyrocket. You might end up paying way more or even be left on the streets. Don’t expect a quick fix either. I followed all the rules, used my personal bank cards, and was polite in all my communications, but my account was still blocked with no explanation or recovery option. Be cautious.
