Are there any real alternatives? In my opinion reviews on booking.com seem even stranger...


We used to stay at airbnb places all the time, but no more. The fees have reached a ridiculous level (hint: set your location as Australia, but your currency as USD to see the true cost). The alternative we have switched to is… hotels.


I converted a van to an RV, and now we stay in RV sites. Never going back to AirBNB/VRBO/Hotels! I know, useless for international travel, but within the USA it has become--by far--the most congenial option.


Pick a hotel chain that you are familiar with. No more $100 a day cleaning charges, no more of cleaning utensils, etc.


VRBO?


Look at another comment in this thread about VRBO. Same problems exist for VRBO too.


I think that's Vacation Rentals By Owner.
