I have used AirBNB, but I hate the way AirBNB harasses you to leave a review, time after time -- even if you stay with the same host. AirBNB even uses BS psychology to try to get you to leave a review: You can read your host's feedback once you write a review of your own." That's so childishly manipulative. These social media and "new tech" companies are always trying to exploit their customers.
Here's what I wrote a host who uses AirBNB. I've stayed at his place about 10 times now since he allows dogs, is on my way to my summer home in Olympia, and has a great place right on the Rogue River.
Have you seen this stuff that AirBNB sends its customers? Once I stay at your place, I keep getting these emails harassing me to review my stay. It's childish!
"You can read Kirk’s feedback once you write a review of your own" -- what?!
The problem is that AirBNB keeps harassing me. I despise this sort of thing.
I detest AirBNB and other social sites like Facebook. I just hate it when
I get constantly harassed for reviews and other stuff. When you buy
something, why the F do businesses need to send you surveys? They
should know if they've done a good job or not; they should not need me
to tell them.
AirBNB forces us to leave reviews. Sure, it's so folks know you are a
good host. But as a customer, I really, really despise being constantly
harassed to leave reviews, and I really despise the way AirBNB does it
-- by using psychology to try to make me comply.
I also dislike AirBNB because they profit more than you do, as a host,
if I book a room anywhere and then cancel. I am not sure if you know
this, but if I cancel our July dates at your place, you have a policy
that you probably chose, where I can cancel now and you get no
cancellation fee. But AirBNB gets their fee regardless! I had 48 hours
after booking several months ago to cancel, but after that, months ago,
if I cancelled, AirBNB would keep their fee. That's utter BS.
I guess I should be grateful that I discovered you and your place
through AirBNB. I am. But their website sucks. I will try to filter
results by "pet-friendly only' but then AirBNB gives me all kinds of
places that don't allow pets! I have to spend hours perusing the
choices to see if, indeed, pets are allowed. There are complaints about
this on forums dating back years ago, but AirBNB has never fixed this.
This is how AirBNB continues to hassle me until I leave a blasted review!
I will leave a f****! review so AirBNB stops harassing me. I went on their site yesterday to turn off all these kinds of notifications, but no joy.
