I had 3 terrible Airbnb scam experiences in 2022, so I’m never using them again.
(My most hilarious one was that a host with like 25 positive reviews, listing said they had a hot tub and shower on property. It turns out this meant that we could go her sisters house, a 30 minute drive away, and we could ask to use hers. We tried this and she told us to piss off. That was a fun one.)
The odds of getting scammed is probably 1:100 if not less, and if people keep using them the next time even when they're the 1%, they have nothing to worry about
