The host gave me the wrong information regarding check in. When I booked, I was advised that check in would be between 5 and 7. I arrived from the airport a little early so knocked at the door and was greeted by (who I presumed to be) the hosts teenage sons. I had messaged the host to see if I could arrive a little earlier but didn't receive a reply (which is fine as I had only messaged recently). I was told the room wasn't ready which I again said was absolutely fine as I was early. I said I would come back at 5, when I arrived back at the property at 5 I knocked and no one was in. I wasn't sure if everyone was out or if they were still in the house and keeping a low profile so I knocked again. After 10 minutes there was nothing. I then managed to get some signal and saw a message from the host advising that they would not be home until 7, ( presumably she would still have to get the room ready at this point ) which was after the check in slot. I was really disappointed at this because in my message to the host I had explained that I had only one night in Bordeaux. I therefore didn't want to be waiting around for 2 hours in the middle of nowhere for her to get home to prepare the room. It seemed to be a completely residential area with only a shop and a pharmacy. I had intended to go into Bordeaux by bus after checking in at 5 and come back to the property in the evening. When she messaged saying she wouldn't be home until 7 she wasn't apologetic at all and was quite rude after I messaged her to advise that I didn't want to stay and when I asked for a refund as she had missed the check in. The property seemed very isolated and really not close to Bordeaux at all so I was worried that I would potentially be left with no where to stay in an unfamiliar place if the host decided to keep pushing the check in back or cancelled on me. She did message me later at 6/6:30 as she said she was now home but I had already left at this point as she said she wouldn't be home until 7. I didn't feel at ease at all as I felt certain there were still people in the house who were ignoring my knocks at the door. I therefore decided to leave and get a hostel in the city (at greater expense to myself) to be sure that I had somewhere definite to stay. This host did not make me feel comfortable at all and as a female traveller on my own the situation made me really worried that the host would let me down. From a travelling point of view, it was also pretty rubbish that for my one night in Bordeaux the host wanted me to stay outside her house (in the middle of nowhere) waiting for her to get home. This was a really bad experience and will make me think twice about using airbnb in the future.
