Is this air BnB listing a scam? Too good to be true

[Liund]

My friend last minute has decided she wants to do something for her birthday this Summer. Not
many options for large groups. Found this listing and it seems too good to be true.

Is it a scam do you reckon? Don’t fancy scamming all her mates.

gonna book otherwise. Wdyt?

What makes you think it's a scam?

Looks legit, what says scam to you? The reviews feel a bit 'off'.

Is that you, Hui?

Looks like you're advertising it.

The reviews made me suspicious. Bots?

I tend to like more reviews, but it looks nice

Haha very much no. I don’t want to scam a bunch of people

Could it be a duplicate listing?

You wouldn't be scamming anyone. What a strange thing to think.

9 months hosting a nice London house that is well priced and only 9 reviews?

I think if they wanted to scam you they'd be charging a lot less than £500 odd per night!

Ie ending up with no place to sleep and messing up friend’s 30th

Looks fine to me. The price certainly isn't too good to be true.

Reviews are spread out over quite a few months, that’s a green flag.

How many people do you think look for a 4 bed house? 9 reviews over 9 months seems reasonable to me (not everyone will leave a review)

if you look at what else is available for that size a group you would see why I am suspicious

You don't know how many people stayed there in 9 months. A relatively small proportion of guests leave a review as well. £400 a night for a house is not "well priced" for most people so I can't imagine Hoi is swamped with guests.

If you think it's too good to be true, it probably is. I'd steer clear if it's way off similar listings

’lots of room for fun’, to accommodate 12 people, but no parties or events? Is it aimed at large families visiting relatives in London?

We would just literally be crashing out after clubbing. Ordering a breakfast the next morning

It looks fine to me. Lots of people on Air BnB only rent their homes out very occasionally.

The reviews look odd in that they’re all very detailed.
eg compared to

Chiswick isn't exactly central.

Will everyone mind sharing a double bed?

Doesn't scream scam but I imagine there is a reason it's not got many reviews and I imagine that's down to the sleeping arrangements.

Whats.5 of a bathroom 😂😂

Its probably someone who only rents out occasionally rather than the holiday cottage companies who use Airbnb who have their cottages on most of the year. No parties/ events means you are only having large families or extended families (young family+ grandparents) stopping which reduces the pool of people stopping.

It normally just means a shower and toilet rather than a bath.

Have you checked the price for the dates you want? Have you seen the cleaning and service fees? It's megabucks.
