As a guest I use them all the time. As a host, they don't work well for us because of their insane cancellation policies. A shame really.
I agree that it's become a synonym, which makes life difficult when trying to find out where people find a property!
"Where did you book it?" "Oh Google"
"Yes...but which site?" "An Airbnb site, don't know which one"
Airbnb the new buzzword
love airbnb as a guest, have stayed in some truly amazing properties in the US, about to take a big trip to NZ & after weeks of research hopefully have booked some more great places. The only ones we have ever had trouble with (both were cancelled by host for no reason) were with Instant Book, so I now try to have dialogue with host before I book to get a feel for the place. As a host we have had some great guests, only accept Request to Book as also like a dialogue & to read guest profile before I accept a booking.
Brockles - I find their website the most counter intuitive out and often have to jot down where to find things or I have lost it the next time. I go round in circles some days...
Go to Pricing and then look at Length of Stay discounts. There is an edit button. Click that. Near the bottom of that page there should be green letters which say something like Set Custom weekly prices. Mine says "You have set custom weekly prices for 5 weeks" so I can't remember how I originally got there but I guess there was a click through to start doing that.

Does anyone understand this https://www.airbnb.co.uk/help/article/1 ... -on-airbnb ?
I cannot find any listings with this information on it and asking AirBnB customer services is not a happy experience as they don't seem to understand the question. I'm assuming that if I attempt to put this information in my listing it would be removed anyway? Has anyone done this?

Well, according to the EU ruling as explained in that link, if you are a business (as most of us are), then:newtimber wrote:.... I'm assuming that if I attempt to put this information in my listing it would be removed anyway? Has anyone done this?
you must clearly show the following information on all your listings:
......
Your contact details, including an email address and telephone number
So, if these details are removed by Airbnb, who will get prosecuted - you or Airbnb ???????
This is, of course relevant to all the other OTAs as well.
I'm off to update my listing on HomeAway and be prepared to report them to the ECJ if my details are removed
