Since it was a self checkin, we checked in early around 12 pm instead of 3pm as we had already informed the host that we would be there by 12 noon and if no guest is staying we would want to check in, to which he agreed. On reaching his place we found the keys in the locker and we entered his house which was untidy, so we assumed guests must have stayed the night before.
The moment we entered, we messaged him too, to which he said its an illegal entry and we broke in the house. How could it be an illegal entry when its a self checkin ? Though the checkin was at 3 pm and he didnt inform us that guests were staying the night before, how else would have we known it. On telling him that we checked in he asked us to leave the place immediately and in another 15 minutes we left the place.
He charged us a 1 night extra charge for checking in early. When we left the place in 15-20 mins after checkin, how could he charge us extra for it.
He oppose to pay him for the night and he didnt allow us to stay on the last night and we were left stranded in the middle of the night and had nowhere to go.
I have stayed at multiple places through AIRBNB or at multiple 5 star properties and have checked in early or checked out late but nobody had an objection like this. He was totally rude to us. Never had such a bad experience. Its a big no from my side for this unwelcoming host.
