Place was nice, but host was extremely rude. Barged into the apartment at 11.30am when check out was 12pm. Started roaring about what a disgrace the apartment was in when the bedroom was sparking clean. We hadn’t got to tidying the sitting room yet. There was 1 cushion that had fallen on the floor in the sitting room and a few crackers had spilt which we would have had all cleared up had he not barged in a half hour early.
I was practising a few tunes with one of my friends in the sitting room (it was a traditional music festival) at 11.30am. I didn’t think that was inappropriate as it wasn’t like anyone would be still in bed then or we’d be disturbing anyone and it also states on his Air BnB page that there’s no charge for extra guests so we didn’t think he’d mind that a couple of our friends called over to the apartment that morning before we left. He has his own pub below to the right of the apartment where he was hosting music and song from the festival till the early hours so presumed he was interested in the music also. Clearly not. He knew we were there for the festival if he had told us not to take out our instruments in the apartment, we wouldn’t have.
I tried to apologise that he was upset but he wouldn’t let me say anything he was just going mental at us and frankly I was frightened to say anything as he was being so aggressive, I just wanted to leave.
He was shouting that he couldn’t wait to write a bad review about me on Air BnB, that we should be ashamed of ourselves and we were a disgrace..(because of the couple of crackers, it’s so ridiculous it’s funny now looking back but it was frightening at the time).
He also barged into the bedroom without knocking where the other 25 year old girl was in the en-suite of in the shower at the time, thankfully the door was closed and she hadn’t came out sooner but it was just completely inappropriate behaviour.
I gave a 3 star review because I’m not a nasty person and giving one star just because I presume that’s what he’ll give me which will be completely unfair as the apartment was left in perfect condition which we have time stamped pictures to prove incase he tries to say anything different.
If it was just going on the apartment it was a lovely central place but he really should have someone else doing the check in and out as he has no people skills whatsoever and behaviour was completely inappropriate and dramatic.
It has really turned me off using Air BnB I’v always had great professional hosts as you can see from my 5 Star reviews but the lack of hotel training or any type of training was clear here and I felt very unsafe and uncomfortable.
