Friend has been good friend during our uni days. We’ve loosely kept in touch over the years, but different career choices, interests, distance and children have pushed us in different directions.

She messages me out out of the blue to ask about staying a weekend with us. We live in an area popular with tourists.

I’m feeling a bit put out, as don’t fancy hosting, but we had no concrete plans and thought it would be a nice catch up.

Anyway she stays we have dinner out one night. She’s spends a day visiting a popular attraction and we have a nice evening in with a selection of nibbles, pizza, cheese and wine etc. Uneventful, pleasant weekend I feel.

Now i’ve just been browsing FB and looked on her page to see if she’d posted any pictures. To find she’d written quite a lengthy post about her stay. I don’t want to copy and paste, but basically it’s along the lines of, ‘had an okay weekend with Biscusting, staying at her place. Found the breakfast underwhelming and conversation with her DH a bit dry.
The sleigh bed in the guest room was too high and I bumped on the wooden edge so often I have a bruise. The room was too small.’.....the WiFi speed was poor at best’

She goes on to critique the decor and waffles on a lot about the tourist attraction she visited. Then ends the post with ‘all in all i’d give her two stars’

Wtaf is this!? Has she mistaken FB for trip advisor and my home for a hotel!?

We don’t have many shared friends, but people have liked her bloody post. 13 people!

Now the thing is she talked about coming back at the end of July for an exhibition and we made relatively firm plans about her return.

AIBU to tell her to jog on?

She sounds hilarious!! Write a reviewnof her as a guest back. Include things like failed to change bed sheets and dh found her dull

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 09/06/2018 21:30

I presume you must be facebook friends too so surely she knew you'd see this Confused

IamXXHearMeRoar · 09/06/2018 21:30

Ask if that is why she left without paying the bill?

No more visits from her, what is social media doing to people?

Singlenotsingle · 09/06/2018 21:30

Tell her to stay at an Airbnb then she can review away to her heart's content!

When is it your turn to stay with her?

weemouse · 09/06/2018 21:31

Get a comment on there pronto.

Total cheeky fuckerrrrrrrrrr alert

Newbieuser1880 · 09/06/2018 21:31

I would bill her seeing as she’s reviewed it like a hotel!!

nomoremrsniceguy · 09/06/2018 21:31

YANBU. That's extremely disrespectful and unkind. Ditch her.

bluemoonchances · 09/06/2018 21:31

Write a reply along the lines of "So sorry that hotel Biscuit did not meet your expectations, we pride ourselves on making our guests comfortable. Given you only feel that we are 2 star I'll expect that when you next visit the area you will find a better quality hotel to stay."

Devilishpyjamas · 09/06/2018 21:31

What???? Shock

Tryingoutanothername · 09/06/2018 21:31

I'd say mis-judged humour.

Meowandthen · 09/06/2018 21:32

Wow! I couldn’t let that go. Maybe reply in the style of a hotel manager?

Dear Ms CF, thank you for staying in our humble non-hotel. I am sorry you did not find your stay up to scratch but as you didn’t pay anything you really have no right to complain about the free accommodation. Sadly, we will be closed to bookings should you ever wish to stay again.

Or just ‘ off you free-loading bitch’ should do it.

MsHomeSlice · 09/06/2018 21:32

post some sort of rebuttal ..like on TripAdvisor when the managers point out the room was small because they insisted on the cheapest available option.

And end with "as a friend I give Ms CF a 1* rating for old times sake, and can assure her I will not be revisiting this in the future, I never did get her alleged sense of humour."

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 09/06/2018 21:33

Clearly intended as an ironic parody of Tripadvisor, but equally clearly that isn't your sense of humour.

She should have made sure to only do a review like that with someone who would like it.

PerpendicularVincent · 09/06/2018 21:33

I think she's behaved appallingly, and the logical side of this would to tell me to let her know that and gracefully end the friendship.

However, I completely agree with PPs who suggested rating that fucker right back instead.

PrincessConsuelaBannanaHammock · 09/06/2018 21:33

I think you should reply with What Buzzlightyearsbumchin has suggested 😂😂 there's no way I could not reply!

DevilsDoorbell · 09/06/2018 21:33

I’d reply to her comment with. Similar rview about her as a guest. Cf indeed

Singlenotsingle · 09/06/2018 21:33

Give us her name and we'll all comment on her FB profile

lalaloopyhead · 09/06/2018 21:33

I would be commenting that is for sure!

Crying with laughter face followed by 'assume we won't be seeing you in July'!!!!

Talk about rude.

LadyPeacock · 09/06/2018 21:33

Do what Buzz said!

Fluffycloudland77 · 09/06/2018 21:34

If you don’t say something you will always regret it.

Biscusting · 09/06/2018 21:34

We are FB friends, but I very rarely post, maybe she thinks I don’t use it?

I really want to comment on it. I like Buzzlight’s suggestion

BakedBeans47 · 09/06/2018 21:34

Yeah definitely “review” her as a guest I am sure between us we could come up with a corker!

Say she left skid marks on the bed sheets

Ifonlyfor1day · 09/06/2018 21:34

Total CF. I would comment as above FB is not trip advisor and jog on to a hotel for your next trip.

biggirlknickers · 09/06/2018 21:35

Oh please please post as buzzlightyear suggests!

What cheeky fuckery.

LOliver123 · 09/06/2018 21:35

How bizarre! I would defintely get commenting on that post!
