Airbnb Hosts Get Blasted Online For Having Such Ridiculous Requirements, Here Are 33 Of The Best Burns From Twitter
"Airbnb is just housesitting for someone you don't know, and you have to pay them."
Traveling is something that people have a love-hate relationship with—the lengthy process of planning and ensuring that you will be accommodated properly can be quite daunting. During the vacation period itself, you would definitely expect that everything should already be settled because you have done everything necessary beforehand.
One of the most important parts of planning a vacation is finding the best place to stay. While most people might think of hotels first, many have become more fond of booking Airbnbs instead. It's not hard to see why.
Typically, Airbnbs are much cheaper than hotels while still providing amenities that hotels can't. For instance, when you book an Airbnb, you have your own kitchen, and your experience is much more personal and intimate, even if you are in a large group.
In short, Airbnbs offer a "home away from home" experience at just the right price. Since its emergence in 2008, it has skyrocketed in popularity because it appeals to individuals or traveling groups who often need to rent a property for a short term, especially those who frequently go on business trips or vacations.
With a kitchen, a more homey atmosphere, and no need to interact with people at the front desk, who would prefer hotels over Airbnbs?
While it can't be denied that the business has definitely reached its prime over the years, many people online have expressed their sentiments about how some aspects of Airbnbs are becoming increasingly questionable—and it's not the same Airbnb experience from five years ago. Guests have started to reveal that some hosts abuse the power they have, leaving behind lists of various chores that guests must complete before leaving the unit and sometimes even overcharging for cleaning fees. As relationship expert Dr. Harville Hendrix notes, "Expectations in shared spaces can lead to conflict, especially when they feel unreasonable." This issue was brought back into the limelight when comedian Caleb Hearon posted about a complaint he had regarding Airbnbs. This sparked a thread of people voicing similar experiences and concerns, roasting the Airbnb hosts they once booked for imposing such ridiculous rules and requirements.

It's definitely disheartening to see the Airbnb business fall apart because of these ridiculous hosts, and people are now returning to preferring hotel stays instead, as it's much more convenient compared to paying to stay in a house where you have to do extra chores. We certainly hope that the company addresses this issue, though!
