While the Voice Connect is great for hosts, as a frequent AirBnB guest I don't really want to feel like I am being interviewed when book I place to stay.


agree, why go through all this trouble when I can go on priceline get a hotel room for a similar price.


Nobody is stopping you from doing that. The entire point of AB&B is that you truly (could) get to stay at "home away from home", and experience what you wouldn't get at a hotel.

Not that I'm defending or promoting AB&B, but staying at someone's home as opposed to a hotel would obviously need more stringent requirements (background checks etc) that I'm sure most people wouldn't mind going through.
