Don't make these rookie Airbnb mistakes
Since it was founded in 2008, Airbnb has changed the hospitality game and provided plenty of fascinating lodging experiences for travelers around the world. Not only is it a great way to save on a hotel stay, but booking with Airbnb also often connects you with locals, giving you a more authentic experience as well as access to someone with local knowledge. While it’s used as an alternative to hotels, however, staying at an Airbnb is a completely different ballgame. You’re usually dealing with someone who isn’t a hospitality professional when using Airbnb, and the process of booking and checking in is vastly different from when you’re checking into a hotel. If you’ve never stayed at an Airbnb before, there can be a bit of a learning curve when it comes to being a guest. For a smooth and enjoyable first stay, make sure you don’t make these rookie Airbnb mistakes. (This story originally appeared on The Active Times.)
