Todd is a dishonest scam artist individual and should be banned from Airbnb. He purposefully double booked his room and we arrived for our reservation to find someone sleeping in our room. Needless to say, the other individual was as shocked as we were when we entered the room and turned on the lights.
When we finally found Todd, he appeared to be either drunk or high. He first stated that the other person arrived first so they got the room instead of us. He admitted that he had also rented the room on booking.con and states that half the people don’t show up which is why he double books. He then offered that we could sleep on his patio pull out couch for half price. We knew this was all a scam as the pull out couch was conveniently ready with linens already in place.
We had messaged him just a few hours before our arrival and he could have informed us that he had double booked or even canceled.
Thankfully, this was in Hawaii and not some other state where things can go south quick.
