In her 20 years on tour, and after staying in hotels, motels, and even houses, Airbnb presented itself as an attractive option for the artist. However, nowadays it is a service she would not use.
"When I first heard about Airbnb in early 2010, I thought it would change the way I travel" (...) "A friend told me about it. I was excited, both as someone who often needs accommodation and as someone who has to leave their empty house behind. But I never imagined what it would become," explained Holland.
Why does she no longer choose the Airbnb model?
Jolie mentioned that she considered the alternative of Airbnb when she felt judged by hotel receptionists when arriving late at night after a performance. "There was always an underlying animosity as a woman checking into a hotel in the early hours of the night or early morning," she said.
"The idea of not having to check in with an employee was great, and I also liked the idea of being able to stay with the whole band in the same place" (...) "It seemed like a good opportunity to be more united as a team, something that can be lacking when you stay in separate hotel rooms," added the American artist.
However, everything changed due to her experience with the service. "Airbnbs were fine for a while, but that's been over for a long time. I'm no longer an Airbnb fan. There were too many problems with the service," she said.
"One of the things that I think we took for granted with hotels was the uniformity of cleanliness standards: you know what to expect. In some Airbnbs, I found that the focus is on decoration over functionality," Holland stated.
Along those lines, she pointed out that "sometimes I check into an Airbnb in the middle of the night, and it's a cute little house, but there's no toilet paper, or you can tell someone was paid poorly to clean it. And if something goes wrong with the check-in in the middle of the night, there's often no one to ask for help. With a hotel, there's always a receptionist," she explained.
