Part 2/10:
One Airbnb host recounted a particularly distressing experience: a guest who lied to the platform claiming they hadn’t stayed at the property, resulting in a full reimbursement for their stay. This guest not only took advantage of the situation but also stole items from the property, leaving the host burdened with a slew of one-star reviews that led to their listing being blocked for an entire month. This situation underscores the unpredictability and risk that comes with operating an Airbnb.
