We stayed at approximately 20 very nice places that we booked over Airbnb, but Misty Mountain Hut Ruapehu was the worst Airbnb experience of our 5.5 months travel around the world. The place was extremely dirty. In the kitchen area there were food residues, bread crumbs, grease everywhere. We had to clean every plate, glass, silverware, cooking utensil we wanted to use. The oven was covered with grease. The fridge and freezer were dirty with food residues. The chairs and pads had stains. The two towels for our use had brown stains. The bathroom objects were extremely old. The bath tub drain was rusty. The sink was so impractical that you couldn't even properly wash your hands. And the ancient toilet had many small cracks. The toilet seat and cover had stains. It smelled aweful. I can't find any bohemian flair in a stinking, age-old toilet. Additionally there was a mouse problem. We saw a mouse and what we believe were mice excrement. There were mice trap in the kitchen. The place was so disgusting to us that we left after one night of what should have been a five night stay (we would have left immediately but checked in late at night at 10pm so we had no where else to go). We documented everything with photos. Antje, the host, who was not at the place because she lives in Piha, denied that there was a severe cleanliness issue and refused to refund us (except for one night). She proposed to send cleaners. Cleaning the whole place would have taken at least a day though and would not have solved the bathroom, toilet or mice problem. My wife got ill with diarrhea after we left Misty Mountain Hut Ruapehu. I can't recommend Misty Mountain Hut Ruapehu to anyone.
