“I have used AirBnB in the past, especially when it was the new kid on the block. In the beginning, it was so unique to be able to stay in someone’s actual home, a breath of fresh air in the accommodation industry, but that didn’t last long,” the travel expert shared.

“For me, it’s the worst case scenario. I’m paying money to stay in something that has been given the bare minimum effort, yet charged similarly to hotels, without the service or amenities of hotels,” she explained. “Why would anyone want to do that?”

“Some visitors feel they are injecting their tourism dollars back into the pockets of locals instead of large hoteliers, but now that’s not the case, with most properties being owned by chain hospitality groups,” Kashlee says.
“[And] of course, many tourists want the extra space, or even a full working kitchen, which I agree is most definitely harder to come by affordably in a standard hotel,” she added.
