the place was clean and the host was hospitable but, the additional charges to heat the pool and use the hot tub should've been mentioned in the description or during booking. We had contact with the host prior to the visit and this wasn't mentioned until 5min after checking in. We had no choice and felt obligated to pay or ruin our daughter's bday.
We have rented several airbnbs with pools and have never been hit up for extra money at anytime during our stay.
We have also never had to repeatedly contact the host to come over and turn things on and off during the stay.
