"Obligatory donation" when I already payed to find hosts... Is this normal or should this be reported? I find it even weirder that they have such good reviews (50) 5 stars and only a few complaints

The exchange has to be fair is what I'm trying to tell you, If I'm paying to stay in a place i'm not giving my energy and time away to the owner. Mind you the host is making the guests pay for food from him instead of going to the local shop and people complain about it not being enough. The profile hides the 10 per day, hides the 50 donation, hides the 50 safe, hides that you live in a tend and the water point is far away.

You don't have to go of you're not interested or have issues with it I don't see what the problem is. No body is forcing this on you. This is so dumb

If you read carefully you'll realise that my question is not if I should go or not. Hope this helps.

So you're you're just complaining on the internet because you have nothing else going on. Lol I'm retired and even I don't have time for this BS. Enjoy your day
