The airbnb nightmare

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

But positive news for other sites and direct bookings?

Interesting, not surprising. Stay in “unique, authentic places” on a platform “powered by local hosts”? Maybe sometimes.

Hopefully this may make people more aware and look into where they are staying a little more, an internet search maybe.

I have CDO, it's like OCD but all the letters are in the correct order as they should be!

It is always against AirBnB.
Whilst we have never used the site for many years I really don't get the reason(s) why this one website is being aimed at. There are a whole lot more similar sites on the internet.
Never try to out-stubborn your guests.

I have never used airbnb as a guest, but am listed as a host (Not that we get much out of it). As you say, they are all very similar and we can only hope that it pushes guests to look a little bit harder and find their own place rather than use these sites.
