We are very insulted that Renee (our host) made a false accusation about our stay (stating that we "Planned" to have a house party there, when we had 0 guests. and she claimed we had dogs, which we didnt). The Reason she claimed we had a dog was because we had a soft shell cooler, which probably looked like a pet carrier, while she was watching us on her surveilance). It was really creepy to find out that she was recording us. She didnt contact us directly about her issues. Instead she had her onsite tenants (abdlruptly) tell us to leave. We had to drive around looking for a hotel. We have only positive reviews on our account.
The crazy part was she sent her onsite tenant (her cousin) to check on things. Her cousin told us the reasons (stated above) that we were being reported. She looked inside and said that it was obviously a misunderstanding because there was clearly no dog and no party going on. She even apologized for the misunderstanding, but said it was still too late and we had to leave. We had just arrived and were about to eat, and were shocked by the sudden calls and knocking at the door.
I have been an airbnb user for 5 years and we have never experienced this.
This host is making false accusations about her guests and shouldn't be hosting an airbnb.
Me and my family should be the one filing a claim because we were being recorded inside the property. This is an invasion of our privacy, and the entire ordeal was a huge inconvenience. The only positive was that this happened all within our first 2 hours of our stay, and we learned who we were dealing with early on. It's not a vacation anymore if the host can see and hear everything we do, waiting to point out something we said - that she didn't like. Which, in our case, was "let's party". She even admitted to having this problem regularly. Sounds like SHE is the problem. It's an invasion of privacy, plain and simple. We know this because she called us and was playing recordings (over the phone) of conversations we were having inside. We asked her to send us these recordings but she refused, because I'm sure she knows how that would make her look.
Rent elsewhere.
Thankfully, Airbnb aasured us that we will get a full refund when they found out what had happened.
