This will be a long one so for those who have no time to read please AVOID this place !
I usually do not write bad reviews but this one has to be written.
Let’s start with the communication:
The communication before we came was ok. The host wrote back quickly and we set an appointment up to get in the house since there is no self check in.
The check in :
The check in was absolutely awful. The host didn’t greet us and didnt seem to be happy that someone booked his house. My boyfriend went first in the house together with the host. The host didn’t show him anything. Where the rooms are or where we can find anything. The host just told him quickly that the AC costs extra 30 Euros per day which seems absurd to me. The reasoning behind this he said was that the electrical bill is high. He then gave him the keys and just dissapeared.
Please keep in mind that this host lives in this house. He told my boyfriend so during the check in.
The house/our short 30 minute stay:
We slowly started to come in the house and after we all came in we closed the door and started to look into the rooms. The first thing we noticed was a strange oddor from the bathroom which was really disgusting. After that we started to look if everything else was fine. As soon as we started looking we stumbled across dirty mattresses with what looked like blood. Also there were yellow stains on every blanket, mattress and pillow. Everything was stinky. Every mattress, blanket and pillow smelled like someone had been sleeping there for months.
The chairs were also stained with some holes in them. The floor was also filthy and filled with hair. The balcony was also filthy and the host had hung up the towels to dry and for us to pick up. Half of them were on the dirty floor. After that we started investigating everything and found that the whole place was filthy. Everything was filled with dust and hair. The couches that turn into beds where also disgusting. Filled with crumbs, hair and dust. The kitchen was also in the same state. Everything filthy and filled with crumbs. The washing Maschine had mould and after opening it the whole house started to stink.
So after seeing all this we quickly called AirBNB and requested a full refund. And now here comes the cherry on top. After the host was notified that we requested a refund he got his spare key and stormed into the house without knocking or ringing the bell and started shouting at us on what we are doing and why we are requesting a refund. My boyfriend showed him everything and he said that we have been smoking something and that something is wrong with us. He didn’t seem to want to accept the fact that his house is dirty and was delusional.
After two minutes we got the confirmation that we will get our money back and that we are allowed to leave the house. We left immediately and had to search and book something else on the same day because this host doesn’t seem to know how to prepare and have a clean place for someone to live there. No normal person would willingly live there for free more so if the pay for it.
Please for your own sake and sanity. Do not rent this place.
