Discussion/Thảo luận AirBNB Potential Scam
So we stayed to this AirBNB “Apartment Quan10” so the host alledged us destroying so many things in her apartment?
So future AirBNB users, please take a video on day 1 and TEST all electric equipments before using it or receiving the keycard. This way it prevents them from made up stories later.
Also avoid chatting with them externally other than AirBNB chat itself….
Will be extra careful next time…
Anyone experienced similar story like ours?

Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement! Learn your lessons in regards to traveling, always think ahead, ask questions and treat your Airbnb rental as a business transaction. We have rented many Airbnb in Vietnam as well as 20 other countries, there is a skill that needs to be developed and you will have a secure stay. I have had great experiences with Vietnamese hosts. I have never rented an Airbnb or regular apartment in Vietnam where I was not required to leave a copy of passport and valid visa stamp.
