For those of you who list on this site…any positive or negative differences between that platform and Airbnb? I see they have Air’s infamous extenuating circumstances policy. It’s a shame they didn’t do away with that one.
Also, is it assumed all the hosts are gay, or just that they all welcome gays?
I have considered listing with them, but am a bit concerned about double booking by accident. That is the worst thing that can happen for guests, I think.
I’ve considered listing with them but yes, I did feel a bit concerned that I might not fit well. Even though you can list as gay-friendly, I really have no idea about the best gay nightlife here, at least not up-to-date, or anything else gay-related and that does seem to be a big part of their marketing. On the other hand, it is ridiculous to assume that all gay people like the same things and want to only do “gay things” ! I’ve hosted loads of gay couples and they just do tourist stuff like everyone else, amazingly (!!).
edit just to clarify I did not mean to criticise the site, my comment was intended as self-criticism
Double booking is exactly the nuisance with being on multiple platforms.
Our solution for the moment:
AirBnB > Instant Book
MisterBnB > NO IB
And unfortunately blocking dates when someone expresses the wish to book through MisterBnB.
I think one of the important reasons why gay men book through MisterBnB is just knowing they (and their money) will end up in a place where they are totally accepted.
I believe that in times of internet everywhere, the information given about gay venues is less important.
