Big disappointment
It is a decade I'm using the service of Airbnb.
I traveled around the globe using the service and never get disappointed.
In all my vacations the result of booking accommodation with Airbnb service
took me to places I can call "what you see is what you get".
All accommodation booked by me with this service was lovely places with wonderful hostess.
Till this time ...
We booked a place that calls itself "Bellevue House Panoramic Lake Views" , and it is looking quite beautiful from the pictures attached to the publish on the Airbnb website.
The accommodation stand on a hill above a wide lake , and it was suitable for us to get around on our vacation.
The price was good and the size of the apartment was the right size for us.
But...
on our arrival our host ask us to drive to his pub to get the key.
when we answered that we know where the "villa" is he told us the place is ready for us and the key is in the front door.
from this moment there was no connection with our host (he didn't answer sms, whatsapp or calls)
and we didn't meet him till we leave the place.
The house was exactly like shown in pictures but picture can't transfer smells.
the place smell like basement, with strong mold smell.
Most of the facilities of the apartment was broken or malfunction.
The kitchen was full of expired food left over from previous visitors.
The kitchen utensils were dirty or broken.
All bathrooms had broken faucets and malfunction systems.
And above all the smell of mold that is everywhere.
The wonderful garden displayed in the pictures was neglected and the ornamental pool was broken.
I don't know if it is the standard of the country or the host ,
but surely it is not our standard for vacation house.
and it surely not "what you see it what you get".
We left the place after 5 days , fortunately we didn't have to use a villa for meals or a stay except for a night's rest.
This is definitely not the standard I've gotten used to working with Airbnb, till now.
