Are we told if the implied rate of incidents is higher than that of a motel or hotel? I would have to assume hotels do their best to make people happy and quiet when things screw up. Why wouldn't they? (And why wouldn't airbnb?)
There are more eyes and cameras at a hotel. For airbnb, all you need is to own your own house and then put it up on the internet. Any John Doe can do that. That’s the problem.
Hotels routinely reprogram door key cards. The Airbnb places I’ve stayed at had the key under the mat for us. And the houses were very isolated.
Hotels always have staff on hand all the time, locks are rekeyed with every guest, most hotels have cameras everywhere and most hotels entry doors are locked after 9pm and need a key for entry. Plus hotels have brand standards they must adhere to 90% of the time. That’s not to say issues don’t happen in hotels, they do, but I work for a nationwide hotel company and we don’t even spend 1/100th as the amount discussed in this article.
