Airbnb has turned into a joke, where the hosts look up the reviews you left on other properties as a renter, before agreeing to rent to you and then decline your offer, because they don't want a negative review left on their property. This discourages renters from leaving true reviews which skews everything on Airbnb. Don't be fooled this has turned into something that works well for the hosts, but gives renters a lot worse properties than they think they are going to get, and basically keeps renters from getting properties if they leave honest reviews that are negative. We are currently at an airbnb property now where there are several negatives that would have kept us from renting, but now I am afraid of documenting these in my review due to not being able to have hosts approve me for future visits. I am going to use VRBO more in the future or booking.com, because airbnb is poorly run and thrives on doing things like this that shaft the renter.I believe there are hosts that do not even own properties now on airbnb and are trying to broker units that are timeshares that are vacant, so they tell you they have a unit with a range of dates, when they really only have a few weeks available for the whole range, so they are constantly rejecting my requests for the week we needed for vacation, which creates a huge hassle for renters, who are waiting for approvals in good faith and waste time getting rejected over and over again, because the host is selfishly trying to fill one or two weeks for a vacation property they do not even own.
