The presence of many room rental applications is certainly the best way for those who want to rent out a room or house. It is natural that many people feel helped by these applications because they can choose the place they want. On the other hand, of course this is a problem for hotel owners which makes the occupancy rate become quiet.
There is no doubt that the existence of Airbnbs and other short rental applications has significantly made it easier for people to get a place for a quick vacation or stay; not only does it make things more convenient as everything they need is on one application, but it also gives the convenience of making a reservation and booking with just a few clicks, unlike the traditional way of either personally going to the place or making a call (a task many of us do not really enjoy). However, in contrast with the convenience it brings us these applications also bring bad sales for hotels and other similar establishments as fewer and fewer guests are interested in staying in their places.
reservation in hotel still has its perks, airbnb is just home sharing, you can expect significantly lesser satisfactory service, its as if you are just some random temporary roomates renting room and thats it.
meanwhile hotel are full fledged good services, from the very first time you reserved until you checked out.
it has its own market honestly.
airbnb usually are being taken advantage of by those relatively young people seeking for affordable rents, meanwhile hotel are for those vacation with much money.
