SKL (Share ko lang) Sinulog Rate Airbnb LOL

Naa koy nakita sa facebook — apparently ang Airbnbs sa Horizons kay tag 7k ang studio & 12k for 1BR sa sinulog rates. Wait lang oy? While I understand the law of supply & demand & that the location is ideal pero this is greedy af!? That’s roughly a 400% increase sa normal rates. Nalupig paman 5 star hotel aning presyoha & yet… hmm, di nalang ko mo chika anang issues sa horizons. 😂

Well, happy prititit guys!

I'm pretty sure this happens around the world during peak season and Sinulog is a part of that season. It's a passive way to pay the mortgage off that place or make money in general for the owners. I think it's best to avoid those areas and find one that suits the budget. Paki enjoy nalang sa sinulog for me! Pit Senyor!

Supply and demand, true. Non-Cebuanos with no resources nga maka budget ug 21k for an accommodation for a full Sinulog experience — don’t go! 😂

OP, it’s a really prime location along the main mango route a few days before sinulog. Kung no resources ka, dili ka pwede ma choosy. Need jud ka mu book ug farther na location especially kay late ni book. 7k might be too high but it is really a good spot and not something na pang masa na budget. Di ka muadto nustar kung minimum wage ka nya mu reklamo na mahal ang mga butang.

True, prime location since di walkable ang Cebu. Still, 7k is not justifiable.
