Terrible host, avoid avoid avoid.
First of all she speaks to you in a demeaning and condescending manner.
She Is demanding money after telling to leave her premise plus an additional fee beacuse my friend came in to wait for me in my room, keep in my mind i told her i was in london for the weekend to see friends and family.
And when i checked in i explained to her that i deliberately chose a double room in case my family came to see me i wont feel to cluster-phobic and she didn’t say anything about it. If anything she seemed ok with it.
Her entire house has cameras all over, which she never disclosed to air bnb.
She claims i broke her rules but she had no issues with other guests bringing friends in.
She was expecting me to wake her up from her sleeep to seek permission from her to let my friend in. And went ahead to call me disrespectful and sneaky for not doing so.
Her rooms are a bit cheaper but definitely not worth the stress or hassle she gives you.
I even explained everything to her once i got back from an event i attended and was willing to pay the guest fee she requested.
According to the report she raised it with Airbnb she was ok with me staying the night as long as i apologise and paid an extra guest fee. How ever when i got back to the premises she scoffed at me and asked me why Airbnb didn’t tell me she wanted me out of her place.
When i attempted to make things right she blanked me out and said she was busy, i even had to beg her to speak to her. She was alway trying to make things more difficult than it needed to be.
apparently i broke her trust and she didnt want me in her house but my money clearly didnt break her trust beacue she was thinking Air BnB would let her keep my money for the night booking which sent me out for.
She then had the audacity to write to me requesting 45£ and said she didnt agree to change my booking date after asking me to leave and collecting her keys.
Her request statement below;
”The booking was for 2 days. You broke the rules by allowing a stranger in the house. Both days should be paid for as I did not agree to the "alteration" to cancel. You should atleast pay for both nights and the the additional person you sneaked in during the night without my knowledge.”
She said i dont normal spy on my guest haha i guess i must be an exception then. I mean with camreas everywhere its clearly something she does on the regular.
No my friend did not sleep over. We were meant to go out and i let him in while i get ready and we headed out within 10mins. This was around 11 in the night and when we couldnt get a booking i had to head back home and he was locked out because his friend had the keys their apartment. So i let me say until he was able to enter his apartment and i asked him to be quiet because everyone else was sleeping. I believe thats called being considerate not sneaky. Im not a child i am adult paying for the room so i dont understand what i need to be sneaky for, plus i dont think leaving my friend outside while i go into my appartment knowing he is stranded for the next hour is the right decision.
I would leave a minus 5 star review if it was possible.
avoid this host if you can, nothing but trouble.
