Poll Preview: Given the current circumstances, would you be more or less likely to stay at Airbnb and VRBO home-share properties than motels and hotels?
Given the continuing reluctance to travel on the part of many people during the pandemic, as well as the reluctance on the part of most casinos to discount or eliminate resort fees and the potential for crowds in various places around big hotels, we wonder if private home-share rentals might be more attractive to those who really want or need to travel these days.
We ran this poll two and a half years ago; you can see the results here. We're curious whether or not two-plus years, combined with the radically changed world, has altered the perspective of the more than 60% of participants who hadn't stayed in a home-share or hadn't even heard of it way back in early 2018.
The following will be the choices in next week's poll. Please comment if you see a way to improve them.
No, I haven't stayed in a home-share and I'm not considering it.
No, I haven't stayed in a home-share, but I'll definitely look into it as a way to avoid crowds and mandatory mask-wearing in hotels.
No, I haven't stayed in a home-share, but I'm considering it; I can't stand the feeling of being ripped off by resort fees.
Yes, I've stayed in a home-share and I prefer it to hotels, pandemic or not.
Yes, I've stayed in a home-share and I'd feel safer in a hotel; I trust the sanitizing procedures more.
Yes, I've stayed in a home-share and I had a bad experience, so I wouldn't consider it again.
Prior to this poll, I'd never heard of home-sharing.
