I stayed for week with my friend. Our room next to toilet has lots of dust on bed and floor, I can see the spider net in the ceiling. House is really lovely and pretty but has lots of dead spider,insects on the carpet. It wasn’t really cleaned. And host seems really friendly at first, she asked what I need or be flexible about checkin time. But once me and my friend wondered if we could have extra towels (we were staying 7days and got 2 towels each), So I messaged her out of curiosity. And she sent me long paragraph of text starting “Are you expecting to use one a day like a hotel?!..”
Of course I apologize immediately. And let her speak with my english parter(Because My english wasn’t perfect, It was really hard to communicate with her who asks lots of favor and rules for staying in airbnb)
And One day Her friend entered our room when we were out and we were told to not leave our towels in the floor. Fair enough It was our fault but she shouldn’t let her friend come inside our guest room without asking us. And also she asked me to do laundry of her towels, so I did a laundry for her and let them dry in the garden next to old towels have been hung. When I did check out airbnb, she messaged me about keys whether I left outside of home in the lockbox while i already heading to station. But I had left keys on the table.
She had a go at me about keys on the text saying I told your partner to tell you etc. My partner had got 3 paragraph of txt from Lorrie about extra rules and favors.
The Host was messaging non-stop with new rules and thus causing ourselves stress while trying to enjoy our holiday. I understand allowing people to use your home is a kind thing to do however, if you have trust issues while on holiday you could close your airbnb and only have it open while you're home. Allowing your friends to come and check in on our rooms where all our personal belongings are is not acceptable. I'm sure if the owner was at the home during our stay it would have gone much smoother although, it did put a dampener on our holiday.
