How do "bad" Airbnbs keep a good rating? What are your red and green flags when booking? [Texas]
I've used Airbnb many times and have had pretty great experiences across the board. My husband just recently had his first bad one and showed up to the place to find it INFESTED with roaches. Like, I truly cant stress enough this wasnt a "oops! one bug in the kitchen" sort of thing. This was aggregious and turns my stomach to think about.
What blows my mind is that the listing had a 4.5 star rating. How does that happen?? Any thoughts? I want a better idea of what to look out for in the future to avoid a similar situation, especially when booking a budget friendly option. What are your biggest red flags on well rated postings? What are your biggest green flags?
Thank you for your thoughts!
Edit: And this is how I learn 4.5 IS in fact a bad rating on Airbnb 😂. Thank you all!
