Do you still use Airbnb for your month long (+) bookings? (alien.top)

I notice if I do the monthly bookings the host will get the people who work at the condos to try and push you out and cancel so they can book the room at a higher rate and or for free since you left. That happened a lot in the Philippines and Indonesia. Mexico will do it as well but not as common. Worst hosts in my experience are the Filipino hosts. I stayed at quite a bit. Don’t stay somewhere there’s a lot of staff working. Apartments or homes are better. Don’t book the condos. Malaysian hosts could use some help.

Wait, what? How do they try to push you out? Asking because I'm visiting the Philippines in a few months.

Never seen it happening. Don't worry. Nobody pushed me out or even tried to. Had to leave one place on my own as advertised internet really did not work, but that's different story.
