I agree with others comments on the AirBnB invasion of privacy in their review process: It seems likely that Airbnb also suck up contact details and use them from whatever accounts they "connect" with in their verification process. I have accounts with Facebook and LinkedIn but both are little used, with few contacts avaialable and neither were accepted by AirBnB.

Even when I tried using their other option, a personal video they did not check and verify using this forcing me to use the only other option, my google account, which i reluctantly did. I now feel nervous about giving too much info into their hands, and opening myself up for identity theft. Not happy, feel blackmailed, but I have to live with this, as I made the choice to go ahead in order to book my holiday.

Hiowever I am now wishing i hadn't, that i had just booked a motel instead. Boos AirBnB

Reason of review: Unjustified requirement for personal information.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Airbnb Pros: Choices, Concept.

Airbnb Cons: Requirement to divulge my contacts and details unnecessarily, Not living up to stated ability to verify with my personal video, Staff non response and no fullfilment of promises, Time wasted.
