Airbnb and other vacation rental by owner services sound like a great option when you are looking to travel or go on vacation and don't want to stay at another big chain hotel.
However, the experiences typically go one of two ways. You either have a great stay, with friendly and helpful owners, and full functioning amenities, or you end up in a borderline dungeon, where nothing works, there are strange smells, bugs, and discourteous hosts.
In this collection of photos we see the latter. Disgusting, filthy, broken, and just generally disappointing rentals from money-hungry owners clearly don't think guest comfort is a priority.
1
I checked into my airbnb apartment in Seattle today and saw this when I opened the fridge. NOPE
2
Found this camera in my vacation rental
3
Only cheese grater at the Airbnb I’m staying at
4
Airbnb wasn’t what we were expecting.
5
This bathroom in an AirBnB... is in the middle of a staircase.
6
I’ve never felt so gigantic (Airbnb in Italy).
7
$700-a-night Airbnb and they gave us half of a old worn-out sponge.
9
AirBnB host asking for tips.
10
Is this a summer camp, jail cell, or Airbnb?
11
The “mattress” at my Airbnb. Who needs a good night sleep?
12
Booked an Airbnb for the family because one of us has an open heart surgery near that town. Reviews for cleanliness were outstanding. 5 minutes into our stay this is what our socks turned into just walking around. Host refuses to cancel/refund.
13
Air quality tests from my Airbnb where the host claimed not to smell any mold (control test on top). Support refused my refund.
14
I reserved an Airbnb with Sea View…. can’t complain I guess.
15
Found a camera in my Air B&B. It was halfway behind the painting with only the lens peeking out. Discovered it because we heard it clicking after me and my girl got out of the shower.
16
My AirBnb host said “the keysafe is near the white door… it is silver with black plastic”
17
Water has been yellow and metallic tasting in our Airbnb for a week now. Owner says they can’t do anything about it.
18
Bug infested kitchen, great.
19
This knife at the Airbnb we stayed at. Tetanis anyone?
20
This tv at the airbnb Im staying at is all but useless.
21
Exactly what you do not want to see in a cupboard as you pack out of your AirBnB
22
This is the hot tub of the Airbnb which was the main reason why I rented the spot. Smelled terrible and was obviously not cleaned in forever
23
The most absurdly thin toilet paper I have ever seen, found in my airbnb
24
The sheets at my Airbnb. Homeowner wouldn’t answer the phone because it was the sabbath and he couldn’t work.There were other problems as well, such as 2 month expired exploding milk in the fridge, and holes in the door. But they aren’t as bad as these sheets.
25
There's no getting clean in this "shower".
26
More reasons to hate Airbnb. I went on a trip several weeks ago to New Orleans, and our Airbnb host didn’t tell us until we landed that the pool was unusable. The A/C in 80% of the house was broken too.
27
Who doesn't want to shower in the middle of the kitchen while dinner is being made?
