Kind of, there are scams where the owner doesn't maintain their property properly then when some shit happens they'll charge you for damage fees, there are also scams like fake reviews, where its advertised as nice and comfy and its shitty

In my experience 4+ star hotels are on average better because of the better bed quality and I usually eat out anyways to try local stuff. Other than that a furnished apartment is ideal, especially for stays longer than a couple weeks.
