A trip that quickly took a turn for the worst...
When I arrived things were fine. The room was simple but clean with all the needed amenities in the lower floor of the house with the host's living upstairs.
After a couple of nights there I woke up around 1:30 a.m. to get bit by something in bed. It was burning and extremely itchy. It left blood marks on the sheets from getting bit so hard and resembled the pattern of bed bug bites to a t along with the reaction/feeling and look. I took photos of the blood on the bed and of the bites on my body around 2-2:15 a.m. before laying a towel down and not sleeping any more that evening.
I felt so uncomfortable by the bug bites assuming it was bed bugs I put everything into trash bags and forwent my last night being forced to find last-minute accommodations where I was working in Kona for the Iron Man. The hotel that worked with the location and my work was $400+.
Then upon flying out I walked through the airport with everything covered in trash bags because of the bed bug bites, which were still swollen and itchy 24 hours later I'll add. Went home and put all clothes in hot water + vinegar soaking, separately from one another just in case not to contaminate and ran them through the wash all twice to be safe. I cleaned the backpack thoroughly and steamed it to kill any bed bugs on it as well.
Throughout this whole miserable ordeal, I was informed that a Terminix person discovered there were no bed bugs some how? But regardless of that, I was bit to the point of bleeding by something in the middle of the night during my stay which led to A LOT of inconvenience + additional costs my last day and AirBnB + the host seemed to have little to no remorse for the excruciating circumstances her property/bug bites in the middle of the night had on me.
I was NOT reimbursed for my whole trip and am in the hole between the AirBnB + expensive hotel (plus the inconvenience of all of it with the hotel and flight with trash bags then extensive cleaning). I Recommend looking for cheaper hotels or other properties.
If you want to risk sleeping with the bed bugs here, all I've got to say is good luck and don't expect a refund when they bite you.
