How do I deal with a bad Airbnb experience?

If there is a problem with your Airbnb stay, the best option is to contact your host immediately. Airbnb recommends starting a request within 72 hours of noticing the issue to ensure that you're eligible for a full refund (if necessary). In many cases, the host can address the problem quickly without involving Airbnb.

Airbnb listings are about the person, not the property. That means if you buy someone's Airbnb, you have to start over on Airbnb. You will have no reviews - and if you're selling, you will need to cancel all reservations after the close date. Sounds harsh?
