The first thing that hit us when we entered the property was an overwhelming bad smell, it smells like decaying flesh, pungent and nauseating. I have had a dead rodent in our own house once before and the smell is exactly the same.
The kettle was coated in limescale, the oven was really dirty, inside and out, the microwave was dirty on the inside, there was dirty dishes etc in the dish washer, the sink had built up grime on it and the tea towel was dirty, stained and smelled. If I could post pictures, I would, Airbnb have the evidence though.
I messaged the host and she was incredibly offended by my comments because it is her family home. She then tried to blackmail me and said she would only give me a refund if I guaranteed I wouldn’t leave a review over wise she would wait until the review period ended. She told me I was being petty, malicious and rude and basically threatened me that if I left a review that was negative she would do the same. Airbnb are on my side as I have proof.
