Worst thing you have ever seen staying at an Airbnb

[scoobyloobyloo]

Tonight I was made to take my shoes off when stepping inside the house and was later confronted by the horror which is a RAINBOW TOWELLING TOILET SEAT!!

I can’t wee until I leave the house in 10 hours time!!

What’s the worst thing you’ve found in an Airbnb?

Don’t you see pictures of the rooms before deciding to book?

Have you a photo of the actual toilet with the actual seat cover in your Air BandB ? Is it really the same as the one that you linked too?
It's really odd 😂

Is it in the UK?

Could be worse 🤔

Yep, it’s really the same one! Don’t want to take a picture of the actual loo, bit of an invasion of privacy.

Yep, in the UK although the host comes from elsewhere originally so may be a cultural thing.

And yes, you see photos but unfortunately they hadn’t included one of the loo.

Only - at least that’s the lid, not the actual seat!

Hell, I’ve got 3 hrs left before I leave and I need a wee...

We had the cleaner reclining in the lounge in nothing but a dressing gown one time when we arrived....

I hovered.

FFS - That's horrific!! I'd just take a Passive-Aggressive piss/dump in the corner of the room. That'll learn 'em.

I should have mentioned we'd rented the whole apartment. And it hadn't been cleaned.

I imagine it is removed and washed after every guest...

sentenced did the cleaner look even vaguely embarrassed or did they manage to style it out somehow?

One of my trainees staying in an AirBnB to save money going to a big conference. Moved the huge creepy clown doll from the bedside table because 'it was staring' at him... And found a screwtop jar full of nail clippings behind it

Shoestring, I think my husband, who walked in first, was more embarrassed. She was clutching her dressing gown tightly. We thought we'd made a mistake with the apartment (key under the doormat). Turned out the cleaner had just moved in on the sly and didn't realise we were coming. Owner who we dealt with was overseas.

We also rented a 'spacious luxury penthouse apartment' once that was on the 6th floor (of 12), you couldn't swing a cat, cockroaches everywhere and the building was seriously dodgy. That was through tripadvisor tho. We stayed one night (arrived late with 3 young kids) then left

Hmmm, you’d think so Greylady. My eyes and nose tell me probably not...

On the flip side we once had a 4 bed house where we couldn't find the 4th bedroom. Turned out to be a proper hidden bat cave room. Door was a recessed bookshelf, bed was a bat mobile.

Thought I'd found a dead cat under a sofa cushion (looking for lost toy). Turns out it was just massive ball cat hair.
Towelling toilet seat- I'd use shower.

That toilet seat is ugly. But the fact that it's absorbent is even more disgusting.

What is so unusal about taking your shoes off ffs?

The toilet seat cover would be interesting for anyone, who suffers from heavy periods or IBS . Ewwww!

It was the actual room for me.
Booked what seemed like a very reasonable airbnb in Cumbria.
The host had managed to capitalise on his property by creating another bedroom on the ground floor.

He had done this by knocking through the cupboard under the stairs and annexing half of the already small galley kitchen, creating a room just big enough to accommodate a single bed.

Oh and the freezer that there was now no room for in the kitchen.

It wasn't until I was lying in the bed wondering wtf the room was so small and how come the only window gave a stunning view of the pile of junk outside which was leaning against it, that I worked out how the room had come about.

Harry Potter eat your heart out.

The taking the shoes off IS NOT A PROBLEM!

It’s the logic of taking off one’s shoes to sit on a towel of wee which is the problem.

Ffs.

Forgive my arsiness. I just want to go home...

Our first and last air bnb was a recently decommissioned old people's home. I give you

Overriding Smell of wee
Saggy beds
Old disgusting bathrooms complete with handles everywhere and panic buttons
Mad over sharing owner who told me about her dd marriage breakdown and bankruptcy in our first 5 minute conversation
Both dd in tears at prospect of staying.

Do I win?!

Have a goat eat it. They'll eat chuffen anything!

Oh yeah, the flat with the dead mouse also had no gas supply on the first night as they'd forgot to top up the card and the shop had shut. But obviously this fades into insignificance next to a fecking toilet seat.
