    Maybe start with fucking ridiculous fees and keeping rules set between. These rules that some of the owners out in are so fucking horrid, I’ll never use Airbnb again, hotels and lodges are so much simpler and more and more have separate floors and rooms for dogs which has been amazing and it’s half the price of the places that are being touted on Airbnb

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has a message for hosts on his platform: lower your prices.

    “We want prices to move and to be more competitive vis-à-vis a hotels— that is really important,” said Chesky as part of a Monday interview with Bloomberg.

    These fears of an “airbnbust” come after a travel frenzy in 2021, which pushed revenue to record highs for hosts and likely contributed to more people listing their homes as rentals.

    “We’ve seen a big uptick in supply, which means that demand is being spread out over more listings, leading to the occupancy decline,” Jamie Lane, an economist at vacation analytics firm AirDNA, told Insider in 2022.

    AirDNA predicted in December that 2023 would see a lower occupancy rate for short-term vacation rentals than 2022.

    The firm also predicted that supply is likely to outpace demand for these rentals in 2023, with the number of listings projected to increase by 9% year-on-year.
