The most uncomfortable Airbnb experience I’ve had.
1. after booking the room, there was no instructions for checkin and other details. The house number was given after I asked for it by the time I arrived on the street
2. everything in the house is very loud. it’s understandable as it’s an old building with hard wood stuff but not when your host gets up super early and makes noises. Being woken up by your host’s alarms at 4AM is simply unacceptable, and also loud music and loud phone calls in the morning.
3. They didn’t provide the basic aspects of a room, for example there was no bin in the room and the only bin is in kitchen and always full; the kitchen is always busy during the day due to one of the host’s job running a pop up restaurant meaning it’s impossible to cook a fast breakfast for yourself. Most nights the kitchen being available after 9:00pm. There was one time we wanted to put some food in the freezer but the host simply told us it’s full.
4. So many details aren’t explained and I feel like an intruder in the house and only had to stay in my own room. When we first got in the house I asked the host about their schedule like what time do they usually use kitchen and what time do they go to bed. The answer was just “varies”. It turned out sometimes they seem to go to bed very early and sometimes they got home nearly 1AM.
5. The most ridiculous thing is there was one night me and my boyfriend had a conversation but not very loud. About 11pm the host started banging the wall between our room and their room. No communication and no politeness. We left the house immediately in late night as it’s so uncomfortable to stay longer.
I’ve used Airbnb for a few years and never had any issues with any hosts in any countries. This one really frustrated me a little bit. Not sure if I want to recommend it.
