I have used air b&b over 50 times now and I’ve stayed in some very cheap accommodation in many third world countries all of which were cleaner than this place. I arrived late but within the check in time, after a rude message from the host giving me the code for the lock box I went to use the bathroom, it was huge with a jacuzzi! The floor was COVERED in hair and muddy foot prints, the toilet rim had old stale urine on it, the sink was filthy and also the shower had a yellow grime from months of built up filth, the dirty toilet brush was on the floor. I asked the “host” when would the bathroom be cleaned to which she replied “There's no service- it's not a hotel.
Guessts as per house rules, which supposingly you've read prior to booking, are expected to clean up after themselves and look after the place like grown up should.” I had no other interaction with the host so no reason to annoy her but it seemed I had managed too, the next morning I went to make some porridge and the kitchen again was horrible. I decided to travel back to Bournemouth after work and only use the room for one more night. When I did get back the kitchen was clean and the bathroom floor had been cleaned a bit but over all I felt uncomfortable in my stay. Maybe the host has had a personality transplant since writing her bio and past reviews. It is a cheap stay for London so I wasn’t expecting the ritz but manners cost nothing.
