Can I start by saying I absolutely hate doing this and always approach the hosts first if there are any problems (which I have) and the reason why I’m leaving this on here if because of the host (Paul) response. I really appreciated Charis’ apology but Paul’s apology beginning with “sorry you feel this way” was somewhat interesting so what I really ‘feel’ is that people should be warned about his behaviour. Our stay started well enough… We arrived at 3:30pm and there was someone in the flat cleaning. We were told we could arrive from 3pm so this was a bit unsettling, but we didn’t really mind and the nice lady left pretty much immediately. Over the next couple of days we hardly spent any time in the flat. It’s pretty average in terms of decor but it was clean and in a good location. The main issue we had was on our last night. I was woken up at 2.45am by multiple texts and calls from the host, accusing us of being loud and demanding that we “have some respect” or we would “have to leave”. People can have house rules but we were all in bed sleeping and I’m actually pregnant, so this was by no means a rowdy weekend away. After telling the host that we were in bed they didn’t believe us and continued to threaten us with eviction at 3am in a city we don’t know. Apparently the host could see us watching tv (clearly looking at us through the window) but in reality one of us was using the sofa bed and fell asleep with the TV on. Next thing we know a man is at the door and comes in to have a look around to make sure we weren’t partying while the rest of us slept… he soon realised we were, in fact, in bed and that the noise was coming from a different flat. Totally outrageous behaviour. We were all in bed by 11:30pm. As five young women this made us feel really uncomfortable. And before the host bites back and tries to blame this on us, here’s a copy of the texts. Yes I let him in to have a look and yes maybe they have a right to check if there is any indication we’re breaking the rules but, there were no rules broken and no evidence what so ever that the noise was coming from us. His assumption was already ridiculous but that can be forgiven, it was how it was handled after. I complained to Airbnb and we were reimbursed 50% of our money which is a nice gesture but we didn’t want our money back all we wanted was a genuine apology from the man himself. A little advice, next time you accuse someone of having a party, be a little more polite, just ask to come round and check rather than threaten them.
