Airbnb taking over hotels
We all enjoy having time off from work and school, so vacation is always the greatest choice. However, while vacation may appear to be enjoyable at first, the bills add up really quickly. Everyone wants to go on vacation, but hotels are too expensive. So what about Airbnb?
As someone who enjoys traveling, I am able to find a balance between staying in a hotel and staying at an Airbnb.
People either despise hotels and like Airbnbs, or despise Airbnbs and adore hotels.
As a result, you may wonder which is better and why.
Whether you’re traveling for pleasure or business, you’ll need to decide whether to stay in a hotel or an Airbnb. This blog will help you in making that decision.
Pros and cons of renting an Airbnb
An Airbnb is generally less expensive and has special offers. It is a learning experience from a local point of view, so it isn’t as lonely than staying at a hotel. The customer service is completely non-existent. If there is a problem, it can be difficult to get a reply from Airbnb, since they are a big company. It can also be uncomfortable renting someone else’s house. Many Airbnbs are shared so you don’t have any personal space, and you feel uncomfortable since you live with them and don’t know them.
In the best case scenario, you can have a good friendship with the house owner or your roommate, so you may establish a new friendship which you weren’t expecting.
But since hosts are not paid extra to assist you or be nice to you, there might be some weird or unpleasant owners, and you are staying in their house. So don’t expect too much from the owners.
Pros and cons of renting a hotel room
Hotels typically include customer service (24/7 assistance at the front desk), and privacy: “what it had to offer was a safe haven, an insurance of privacy, and discretion”- Hotel Du Lac, experience of being in a fancy hotel, housekeeping, safety.
It is usually more expensive than an Airbnb, too many people have slept in the same bed, and shared the same sheets, and you won’t get to experience the feeling of being a local.
When renting a hotel room, you are expecting to have a good experience and a good environment. You expect to find what you already saw on their website: clean, big rooms, pretty restaurants and overall a good, safe environment to stay at.
But there is a small chance that you might get scammed: the hotel might be in a creepy dangerous place, the rooms may be messy and smaller than they looked in the photos, or the owners and the workers may be mean and weird, which might make you uncomfortable.
After stating all of the advantages and disadvantages of renting hotels and Airbnbs, you should be able to figure out which one is best for you. However, if you still haven’t found out, it doesn’t really matter where you are staying as long as you’re visiting the location you intended to visit.
