    Airbnb – Carmarthen

    Airbnb promises that “unforgettable trips start with Airbnb!”.

    The Airbnb platform is huge worldwide – did you know that Paris is the city with the highest number of lets? That airbnb now has accommodation in 191 countries and in 57,000 cities! Also that Airbnb’s summer reach is 353 times what it was five years ago.

    This graph shows just how massive its growth has been recently!

    We can see the positives for visitors and for hosts. Reviews form a big part of its success and people who use Airbnb know that all reviews are genuine. From a hosts perspective it is a positive thing to be able to review a visitor. And from a visitors perspective it is accepted that its almost a duty to write an open and honest appraisal of your stay. Not all our visitors do infact write a review but we encourage ALL to write something … even if its warts and all!  Afterall there is always room for improvement. The success of Airbnb is I think because of the trust inherent in users – they know that reviews are genuine! So to sum up …

    • Reviews are moderated by Airbnb
    • Reviews only come from actual guests and hosts (as opposed to TripAdvisor)
    • Reviews only appear once both sides have had their say
    • Reviews are featured prominently and feature real people
    • There is also private way of giving feedback to the hosts which I have used once or twice!
