My kids are coeliac so we have a greater need to cook meals for ourselves. So we prefer staying in rented apartments / villas etc when on holiday. There are some aparthotels where a kitchen and actual bedrooms are available and we'll use those if they are affordable. Private accommodation also tends to be larger though and if airbnb seems sketchy there are also property rental companies - when we're in Florida we tend to rent a villa from one of these and it's been all fine. We're going to Turkey this year and have rented a top floor apartment overlooking a marina.

Airbnb hosts hiring maids so you have to check out early but still making you do all the cleaning 🤡

I've rarely had problems at airbnbs in Canada and while traveling. Had one host claim we broke her hot tub by "setting the temperature too high" lol, but we told her to go ahead and go through airbnb arbitration and she dropped it immediately. A few places that weren't as nice as the pics, that's a given, but never been straight up scammed personally so I don't know what I'm doing right!

Hotels are definitely boring though and I guess that can be a good thing, but then I would've never experienced eating papaya and smoking weed while staying at a metal hut in a beautiful tropical garden right off a Costa Rican beach while hanging out with about a dozen kittens!

Yall have some rough luck with ABNB properties. I stay 4-6 times per year and it’s been a breeze.

Airbnb is much better for families whereas hotels cater to everyone else basically.
