Airbnb Announces Intention to Become a Publicly-Traded Company During 2020
I am a big time traveler. When AirBnB appeared on the scene, it was a life changing event for me. So much better then hotels.<p>Since then, AirBnB have not added anything that benefits me. But booking.com have catched up massively. To the point that I prefer booking.com again these days. I would have <i>never</i> expected that to happen.<p>Some of my pet peeves with AirBnB:<p>AirBnB's reviews are not chronological. So you have to read them <i>all</i> to make sure you do not miss recent complaints.<p>AirBnB does not show the exact location of the apartments.<p>AirBnB sometimes removes negative reviews for no good reason.<p>AirBnB lets hosts get away with removing their listing (due to negative reviews) and relist them with a clean slate.<p>I really hope AirBnB will stay strong. A healthy competition between them and booking.com is probably best for travelers.<p>By the way, anybody here using something other then AirBnB or booking.com? Would love to hear if there are other good options to consider.
