"READ FOR A GOOD LAUGH" The movie "Idiocracy" in real life.... Don't waste your time everywhere option out there is by far superior to airbnbulls@#!%. I'll just start by saying I spend a min of 6 months out of the year living out of vacation rentals and have rented from multiple companies and never had any issues with any of them except vacasa 1 time verification of my ID but 1 very short and simple phonecall later vacasa had issue fixed. Now my experience with air bnwhatever was not so pleasant I'd verification was a nightmare many many attempts and phonecalls to I think customer service and still same issue and nobody competent enough to figure out another way, (like vacasa did in one short simple call). And after days of failed attempts with I'd verification when it did finally go through the rental I had wanted was long gone. So attempted to rent another place only to get rejected because of too short a notice and flagged for being a possible party thrower, and after calling and waiting on hold forever yet again when someone finally did answer I kindly explained my whole situation of loosing my original rental do to nobody being competent enough to compare my I'd pic to my selfie, and being flagged for possible party's. I also explained that my wife and I are 45 and 46 years old and have 2 five year old twins with us on top of being 2400 miles away from home in a place neither focus had ever been to before and me having a heart condition that the idea of us throwing some big party was highly unlikely. Again nobody jot a single person working there was competent enough to push the reservation through andci was told to book it in advance. I guess my thoughts are if you aren't going to rent a place on short notice then you probably shouldn't have that as an option, and maybe it's just me butcifci were going to ever throw a party it wouldn't happen on short notice I would need some time to plan and invite. Judging by the lack of common sense and shortage of competent people at wonderful air bandwasteyourtime i can see some moron coming up with a party rule opposite ofchow it should be. So I tried booking it with 2day notic3 and guess what flagged again. Following dat tha rental was taken and I started looking for another one. Next rental comes and I secure it and finally done fighting all this but guess what there is a problem with payment. Air bnbull%$#@× say problem is on my end and my bank says it's on air bnwhatevers end this goes back and forth again and again I ended up at welks fargo with my banker on the phone with them trying to get this payment through. Like to remind everyone I've rented from 6 different companies in the past with no issues except one time and tat one time I called customer service and all they did was manually type my card in and done deal no problem. After hours on the phone and back and forth do you think I could get a single person from airbnbull to just try and manually enter my card nope not a single person working there capable of doing that. So they kept saying problem was with my bank and I kept pushing the issue back at them and eventually since Noone there is capable or competent enough to do anything or fix anything so they banned me. Not only that my wife made an account and they instantly banned her too just for being an associated person to me. Now that is customer service at its finest. So unless you have a lot of free time and just looking for laughs at just how dumb some people can be, (kind of reminded me of the movie idiocracy) I would suggest using a different company.
