We had quite a difficult stay which is such a shame. Our first and last Airbnb experience sadly. We had several issues which although the host tried to resolve, carried on. I don’t feel the house was ready for guests. The issues we had were:
No toilet rolls in toilets on first night
3rd bedroom locked so our daughter had to sleep on the sofa. The owner didn’t understand why we wanted our children to be in separate rooms but we had obviously paid for 4 bedrooms ;-(
Attic room not really a bedroom - no doors and it was boiling hot
No privacy in main bedroom as there are no proper doors
Workman walked in when I was getting ready - I didn’t know he was in the house
We weren’t shown where anything is on arrival apart from the rooms themselves
Shower constantly flooded
Tv didn’t work for first few days
No air conditioning - it was very hot
Barking dogs all night - with the windows open you don’t sleep
The owners dog was left at the property. I text him asking for him to collect the dog and he replied ‘in the morning’ The dog was outside all night
Outside lights on steps don’t work so it’s very dangerous coming up from the road
Not safe for children with staircases - we had to ask for a stair gate but this was only fitted for one of the floors.
X2 days of our 5 day stay we had workmen in
One of the bedrooms has a ceiling light above your head which beams in light at 5am
Owners dad sat round the pool for over an hour on the loungers on one of the days
Lack of some curtains up at the house so the main bedroom is woken at 5am with light. Glass doors offer no shield from the light
No bedside table
Smashed ceramic tiles outside - our daughter cut her foot
The straw that broke the camels back was the last two mornings when the gardener operated an electrical chain saw at 5:15am and 5:45am on each day, waking up the entire house ;(
We were very upset during the stay as we had so much stress.
