HOSTILE HOST I have been a member and stayed at several places in Europe and Asia I've never been mistreated by the host I met until the trip to Auckland NZ on 10 May 2018, staying at 17 St.Benedicts apartment in Auckland hosted by a Chinese guy named Ray. This is the first time I left the place staying just 3 nights ( from 9 nights booking) coz I really can't stand his attitude implying racism, which I think it's against Air BNB's standpoint. On Ray's text message before he and I met, it seems he wasn't flexible about some request which I fully understood. On the day of the arrival, he texted me that he wouldn't be there but his friend would be I asked for his friend's number in case I need it. I didn't know that later it would be an issue with him. I settled in with his friend's hosting me alright just when Ray came first thing he asked me Do you understand English? he thought I misunderstand his text I asked him what I misunderstood he thought I asked for his number (which I had ) he asked me in a very rude manner and repeat it again and again while he explained about his rules of using his facilities on the premise which there's a lot of NOs.

My last straw fell when I needed to cook simple dinner and asked him to switch the induction on for me.I'm not familiar with it he instructed me with an air of annoyment, again with many NOs here and there and repeating to me again Do you understand? this time I felt disturbing, I asked him again because he left me with the stove I followed his instruction and it didn't work He repeated that I didn't get it so he wrote me the note putting on the knob and offer me he fried for me because I didn't understand what he said ( and English ). I told him calmly that please tell me how because " I don't want to bother you " he really pissed off at me and said " You bothered me already. Do whatever. I'm done with you" and left for his room. Such hostility attitude with an air of racism I was shaken by rage I decided to leave the apartment the day after, even though I paid the fee in full with no refund. I have to admit that I don't feel the same about staying at Air BNB, even though this host is just...
