I booked a trip with Airbnb earlier this year and found the service and user-friendly nature of the site to be exceptional. I also felt reassured by the reviews and feedback left by other guests for the hosts that I was considering staying with. I was also very surprised at the wide range of accommodation available, and that the tiny town I was looking to stay at in Wales had several different options available. I definitely feel that Airbnb offers travellers a unique experience that they could not find on more mainstream travel booking sites like Expedia and Booking.com, so yes, I would highly recommend the service to a friend or family member. 9/10.
