Once you've experienced the horror that is a bad Airbnb experience, you're POV might change. I will never, ever opt for Airbnb > hotel, especially if I'm traveling internationally. Airbnb customer service is horrendous and an absolute nightmare. All it took was one bad booking for me to be Team Hotel 4EVA! The only exception I might make is a large group trip. But only if it's in the states. 

It's allllll about location. If it's a cool, nature-y place, AirBNB all the way. But for a big city experience? Nothing but a hotel. And I also love a boutique hotel — some of them are so cute and interesting! 

An AirBNB can be a cool change of pace, but nothing beats a hotel. The turndown service, the insanely nice showers, the fact that I don’t have to lift a finger… that’s vacation. 

I love an Airbnb and I actually love the process of finding one. I find the search to be really fun and actually kinda relaxing 

It all depends on where I’m going for how long and who I’m going with. If its a big group of friends, I prefer an air bnb just because I think it works better but usually anytime I travel I typically like hotels bc I’m of the mindset of I don’t want to cook, clean, or do anything on vacation. 

I feel like I tend to book hotels because I feel like they're always pretty much the same/I know what to expect. I rented an AirBNB upstate NY once and I felt like I was packing so many more stupid things (coffee, spices to BBQ with!) that somehow it felt like more work. 

When traveling so you prefer booking a Air Bnb or a standard hotel room / suite? 

Before actually staying at an Air Bnb I preferred hotel stays when it came to traveling.  I liked the idea of having room service and 24 hour front desk services as well as all the free mini shampoos and conditioners they provide for you in the bathroom/ washroom area. Little did I know Air Bnb is pretty much the same thing except you’re in someone’s personal property and there’s not necessarily a “front desk..” I imagined that it would be a horrible experience where you live with someone’s grandma or grandpa for a short period of time. LOL I’m still not sure why I thought that the owners would be sharing the same space. And from what I hear there are situations where property owners stay on the site with you but I guess it depends on which property you select.   Now that I know better I will definitely go in the route of an Air Bnb, but I wanna know what your opinions are.
