Airbnb | Pros and Cons
Pros
The Airbnb service is part of a new wave of accommodation rental trends that's seeks to give travellers a more authentic experience when away from home.
Airbnb places a lot of value in the trustworthiness of its service (for hosts and travellers). All members must be verified.
Any questions can be worked out using the Airbnb private message service.
Anyone can view the verified reviews of a place or guest(s) and benefit from the experiences of others.
Cons
Airbnb facilitates the transaction between host and traveller. Individual experiences, policies, and conditions will vary from place to place.
Is Airbnb legal?
Laws around holiday rentals are different depending on your location - and some apartment buildings do not allow tenants to rent out their units.
In Australia, Airbnbs are currently legal. However, there are frequent government debates around the topic.
Airbnb properties can sometimes be listed in locations where stays aren't legal - or are limited to a set number of nights per month or year - so it's best to check the local rules before making your booking.
How do Airbnb payments work? Do I need to pay for my stay when I make the booking?
If you make a reservation on an instant book property, you're charged at the time of booking. If you make a request to book a property, you'll be charged once the host accepts your stay.
Airbnb holds the payment until 24 hours prior to the stay, and then releases the funds to the host.
The site has also recently introduced the option to pay for your stay in split payments, where you can pay for half your stay upfront and the rest at a later date.
What forms of payment does Airbnb accept?
Visa
MasterCard
AMEX
Discover
JCB
PayPal (Select countries)
Google Wallet (Android app only)
Apple Pay (iOS app only)
Do Airbnb bookings include breakfast?
Despite the hint toward a "bed and breakfast" experience, Airbnbs usually don't include breakfast. Some hosts do offer to leave basic breakfast items or serve breakfast, however the majority of hosts do not.
Do I need to clean my Airbnb?
Airbnb stays usually include a cleaning fee, which generally covers regular maintenance and the washing of linens. General tidying is expected though, especially if your Airbnb has a kitchen that you've used. Most hosts will expect any used dishes to be cleaned.
Does Airbnb have a loyalty program?
Not yet, but if you're a Qantas Frequent Flyer member you can earn points with your stay at a rate of 1 point per $1 spent.
How do I cancel my booking with Airbnb?
Airbnb allows hosts to select their own cancellation, change, and refund policies based on the Airbnb guidelines. Hosts can choose ‘strict’, ‘moderate’, and ‘flexible’ and Airbnb will stand by this selection should a need for a cancellation arise. This is except in the case of an extenuating circumstance.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances.

Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle.
