In one word : A NIGHTMARE
At the day of the arrival, he was supposed to meet me at the apartment but unfortunately I told him that I could be arriving around 6ish since I’m traveling by bus and train and could not tell tell the exact time as there could be unexpected circumstances but then instead he decided not to turn up and let me go ahead and grab the keys from the safety box and get into the apartment myself.
To my horror as I arrived to the apartment, there was just one bed in the main bedroom and another small bed in the other bedroom. This is a false advertisement, as in the listing he mentioned that there are 2 single beds and another one in the main bedroom ( total 3)
As there were three of us and we all need individual bed but instead we did not make a big fuss about it and one of us sleep on the couch instead. We did not feel comfortable when seeing the a paper sign saying do not pick up the sheets from the wardrobe as they did not look welcoming to the guests but we respect the rules anyway.
We find the apartment to be dull and run down as the two wall lights in the living room were not working and only one was. The living room has only two windows and it was very dark as only one wall light was on and the floor was cold as ice.
We separate the garbage and clean the dishes before we leave the place but unfortunately we were in such a hurry to leave because the check out was so early so we left just ONE plastic bottle and a clean plate in the sink and we did not even realized that we had to take the trash out and clean the place as the same as how it was when we arrived because sent us a message saying we were leaving the place DIRTY.
One fair complaint we received from him is that we forgot to leave the city tax for him ( in cash) on the table. We were very happy to pay him and he agreed on to request the money from us on Airbnb but I find this shady as he gets furious when we asked about the receipt. As we only have one person age 14 with us but he is charging us on the full price and the third person actually arrived the second day of the stay so he would definitely have to charge us less than what he is charging.
I find this shady as how do we know if the host is really paying the exact amount from us to the city.
As absurd as it gets after we checked out he sent us a message saying we were dirty and wanted to charge us on the curtain that was falling off from the rail and boy ! we did not even notice that little thing and he could easily fix it by putting it back on the rack in 3 seconds. He also want us to pay fo the hand towel that has some stain on which he could just throw it in the washing machine. I find it quite ironic that we have to pay for the cleaning fee and he is asking us to do all the cleaning.
The most horrifying complaint I got from him was that one of us slept on the couch ! Of course one of us have to sleep on the couch because we have no bed to sleep on ! One of the bed is missing ( by his false description) and complaint that we sleep on the couch ?! Please, please, please next time can you just re write in the description that sleeping on the couch is prohibited and only for sitting only ?
The host is seriously hungry for money and is charging us on petty things here like as I see on other review. He was rude and arrogant on the private message, calling us like “dirty” and “ the city doesnt want tourists like you” wow just wow
I’m not sure how long this review will be up because the host said that wouldn’t care because Airbnb will take down bad review anyway. I do believe him though on this one because I cannot host like him will have a lot of good reviews as I believe most of the bad reviews were taken down by Airbnb.
Thank you and goodbye for my last time on Airbnb.
