29 Nightmare Hotels and Airbnbs People Actually Stayed In

Nathan Johnson Published 03/07/2024 in wtf

If you've ever traveled before you know part of the fun is all the strange things that happen along the way.

However, these people didn't seem to find the "quirky" hotels and Airbnbs they rented up to their standards. From one room with a view of the toilet and another with a window that you could easily fall out of, there is more than enough here to give any real traveler pause.

While finding holes in ways and dirty sheets isn't something to write home about (you should definitely write whoever is in charge) the most shocking revelation from this collection is from one woman who found a "Bathroom Cam" connected to the hotel's WiFi. Yikes!

So if you don't want to end up like these poor souls on your next trip make sure you always read the reviews before you book your accommodations. You'll thank us later.
