Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Author(s),
Your text is interesting and well-thought-out, but I have some minor comments on a few issues. The first and most important one concerns the issue of trust in AirBnB. It is very complex, and in my opinion you have emphasized it too little in both the introduction and the discussion. Obviously, I understand that your focus in this study is institution-based trust (trust in Airbnb) starting from the split used by Liang et al. (2018). However, it seems to me that the following articles may also be useful for your article:

Mao, Z. E., Jones, M. F., Li, M., Wei, W., & Lyu, J. (2020). Sleeping in a stranger's home: A trust formation model for Airbnb. Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management, 42, 67-76.

Räisänen, J., Ojala, A., & Tuovinen, T. (2021). Building trust in the sharing economy: Current approaches and future considerations. Journal of Cleaner Production, 279, 123724.

Luo, Y., Tang, L., Kim, E., & Wang, X. (2021). Hierarchal formation of trust on peer-to-peer lodging platforms. Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research, 10963480211031399.

Arvanitidis, P., Economou, A., Grigoriou, G., & Kollias, C. (2020). Trust in peers or in the institution? A decomposition analysis of Airbnb listings' pricing. Current Issues in Tourism, 1-18.

Li, C. Y., & Tsai, M. C. (2022). What makes guests trust Airbnb? Consumer trust formation and its impact on continuance intention in the sharing economy. Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management, 50, 44-54.

The editorial side of the text should also be improved, including literature in the text in accordance with the requirements of the publishing house, legibility of tables (especially tables 6 and 7).

Thank you for the opportunity of reading

your interesting work. The paper is well written and the research is solid and based

on s strong theorrtical background

As in other survey based research, the

size of the sample is an issue, but this is acknowledged by the authots.

I suggest to present more details about the

Moreover, minor typos should be corrected, eg its’ etc.

Good luck!
