to expect dishwasher tablets?

[foxychox]

We had a week in an AirBNB last week. It was a seaside chalet, but very well equipped and included a dishwasher. When the keys were handed over I was advised on how to use the washer and dryer if I needed them so my expectation was that all appliances were for use. Over the first couple of days we used dishes and stacked the dishwasher, when it was full I hunted around but no dishwasher tablets to be found. Salt and rinse aid, yes but not tablets. Washing up liquid, washing liquid and fabric conditioner all evident. From then on we washed dishes as we used them (even though there was a only a very well used scourer available) but left the dishwasher as was - all items had been rinsed prior to putting in so no smell etc.
When we left I messaged the owner to say we had a great stay and had stacked the DW but as there were no tablets had not put it on. Her response was that she expected that we should wash all the dishes by hand prior to leaving.
AIBU in that if there is a dishwasher we should be able to use it? And that the property should include detergent for this? I have another AirBNB stay coming up in a couple of months so need to be prepared to take my own if this is not the norm (it has been for the other 2 that we have done)....

Always take my own cleaning supplies for self catering.

Just like I don't expect loo roll or food to be provided.

It's not like shampoo; it's to look after the house property not my body. Exactly.

I expect loo roll,just as I would in a hotel along with soap.

I don't take cleaning products because I don't clean on holiday

YABU. You should have bought some tablets, rather than leaving it in order to prove a point.

For self catering I expect 1 roll per toilet so if you've not been able to bring any you've got warning.

I don't expect hotel level provisions at self catering.

I don't expect hotel level provisions at self catering I do and we've had them so far bar one place which was a pig sty and I got a refund.

@Sadiecow my original post was the question, that is what AIBU is all about. I did provide additional info later as a clarification. I feel you don't have much experience on MN if you think that constitutes a drip feed!!

If it's the type of place to provide linen I'd expect the supplies for the amenities - hand soap, loo roll, dishwasher tabs, washing liquid.

They work without tablets in. If they don't, put them on again.

I'd have took dishwasher tablets though as we have a dishwasher at home.
