My third/spare bedroom is listed on Airbnb as a Large single room with a 4ft bed. It clearly states that the booking is for one person sharing a bathroom with me and my son. Victorian semi nothing grand. I've hosted a lot of guests over last 4 years without drama.
Last month I took an advance booking from a young woman (29) who had good reviews - polite and tidy etc. She said she was coming here - her old home town -for 2 nights to catch up with friends and would be going out in the evenings.
I wasn't home when she arrived yesterday I arranged for my DS let her in and give her a key. I had sent instructions by text asking her to bolt the front door etc when she comes in at night. I heard her come in at 1 am but did not get up. During the night I heard her bedroom door and the bathroom door open and shut and loo flush at 2.30 am, 3 am and then again at 5 am. ( I don't sleep very soundly and can do without the extra noise tbh). I sent her a text to ask if she was alright - I honestly thought she might have an upset tummy or food poisoning. No reply.
I got up at 8am and, as usual on a school day, started making breakfast. She came down to get a drink and to meet me. Then this: "I hope you don't mind my boyfriend stayed last night". Well I did mind . I was extremely assertive and said at the very least she could have texted me to ask. I also said: did he come up with you (ie from down south) she said yes. I said well, where did you think he was going to stay? She just kept saying sorry. When I pressed her she said he had been going to go back the same day but then he didn't. I reminded her she could have sent a text even if it was late.
AIBU to want to know who is sleeping under my roof at night?
What I find amazing is that there are plenty of places on Airbnb that are self-contained, or with an ensuite (and a proper double bed). Why stay in a guest room in a family house? I can't work out if she is gormless or really thought I wouldn't notice that she had snuck her boyf in. She is due back later and but I won't be giving a key out again.
