Airbnb is safer than Oyo because Airbnb has a more robust review system and allows guests to thoroughly vet hosts and properties.

Airbnb has a detailed review system in which guests of Airbnb can rate their experience and provide feedback on cleanliness, safety and communication which helps to identify any potential issues with the property before booking.

Oyo while also safe has less stringent quality control and potentially can lead to inconsistencies in safety standards across different locations.

Airbnb is also better than a hotel for long term stays as they offer cheaper rates and you get to stay in an apartment or actual house instead of a hotel room.

It's more comfortable to stay in an Airbnb for a longer time than it is to be in a cramped hotel room.

Hotels are better than Airbnb rentals for short term stays because they have additional amenities that Airbnb hosts don't provide.

Airbnb's are better than hotels for people staying long term and hotels are better for people staying short term such as a day or a few days.

Hotels offer better amenities and even housekeeping services and Airbnb is simply a rental of a room or home.

If staying at an Airbnb monthly then you will be charged a first month payment and then the rest of the payments will be collected monthly.

You can stay in an Airbnb permanently if the host allows you to do so.

After you stay in an Airbnb 28 days or more then it is counted as a long term or monthly Airbnb rental.

An Airbnb Superhost is an Airbnb host that provides outstanding hospitality and service and is being highly rated, experienced, responsive and reliable.

Airbnb Superhosts have earned the status by meeting and even exceeding the expectations of their guests.

In most cases it's cheaper to stay in an Airbnb for a month than it is to stay in a hotel for a month.

However Airbnb's do not provide the same amenities as a hotel would.

The Airbnb service fee that is charged to hosts and or guests is for administration, marketing and 24/7 customer support.

The Airbnb service fee is charged as a percentage of the subtotal of each booking that is made with and through Airbnb.

The fee that Airbnb charges hosts is a flat fee of 3% for booking.

An Airbnb host pays a flat rate of 3% of the total booking cost and the guest pays a percentage of their reservation fee (this is somewhere between 5-20% depending on the length of stay, the location, and the cost of the reservation to start with).

It is cheaper to rent an Airbnb for longer stays than it is to rent a hotel.

For short stays it's usually cheaper to rent a hotel room and also Airbnb rentals don't have the same amenities or services as hotel rooms do.

Airbnb's are safe and just as safe as hotels especially if you're renting the whole home or apartment.

Even renting a room can be safe with Airbnb as Airbnb has plenty of protocols in place to filter out fraudulent users and scams.

Airbnb pays the hosts for stays 24 hours after the check in so the host doesn't see any of the money until you've already stayed.

You do not tip or need to tip at an Airbnb as Airbnb hosts don't see what they are doing as a service and don't expect tips.

You can stay at an Airbnb for as long as the host allows you to stay which is most often 28 days.

Some Airbnb hosts may limit the stay in their Airbnb to less than 28 days.

The owners or host will stay with you in an Airbnb if you are renting a room but if renting the whole house the owners or host will not stay with you in the Airbnb.

In a shared Airbnb room the host will stay in the same room as the guest and in a private room the owner will stay in a different room as the guest.

Airbnb hosts do provide toilet paper as well as towels and sometimes tissues.

Toilet paper being provided by the Airbnb host is seen as a basic level of hospitality.

Airbnb does not provide any breakfast or food although coffee and or tea is usually available for their guests.

Airbnb does not provide food but they provide a full kitchen that you can use to cook your own food and sometimes the Airbnb will offer coffee or tea to the guests.

You don't have to bring your own towels to Airbnb as most Airbnb hosts will provide towels to the guests as a basic amenity which all guests of Airbnb require just like hotels.

There are no cameras or recording devices in Airbnb as they are prohibited by Airbnb.

Airbnb houses do not have cameras inside as Airbnb does not allow houses that are rented out through them to have any hidden cameras or cameras inside or recording devices.
