Left is the picture from the posting, right is google street view.
This shit really ruins everything, luckily it's bad enough in this case to easily spot. AI gibberish on the sign, no small balcony in front, rock wall next to the street missing, pretty mountain in the background that doesn't exist, weird blue pole.
I hate how this turns the whole internet adversarial, even more so than it already was. You really need to double- and triple-check everything and trust nothing, unless you want to turn up some place and get let down. I really don't understand what drives people to do something like this. And I don't know how this can go any other way than the internet just becoming completely useless.
Bonus pics from inside:
Note how the lamp seems to have grown more leaves in between shots, and how the fireplace door wraps around the corner in one picture, but not in the other, as well as lacking any handle to open it.
If they get a cut of the booking cost, then they have no incentive to dissuade listing creators from doing whatever the fuck they can to get renters to pull out the credit card.
They already have your money by the time you arrive at your rental and realize the listing was complete horseshit. Most people either can't or won't change their planned accomodations that late in their trip.
So you stay in your falsely advertised hovel and complain to the booking company afterward, who says, "we don't create the listings, inaccuracies in them aren't our fault."
Nothing will change until the problem is pervasive enough that bookings drop as a result AND the reduced revenue is correctly attributed to it by shareholders AND they pressure the C-suite to implement policy changes accordingly.
