It’s an Air BnB one, sorry!

Quick question.

if an Air BnB listing stated “Bath” under the “Amenities” section, what would that mean to you? What would you expect.

Will get a few responses and then explain why I am asking.

OP said he's mancunian, it's not cultural, it's being a cheeky fucker. Plus I doubt Americans refer to sinks as dishwashers!

I'm not defending him, just observing that 'bath' may not always refer to a bath as we know it, and it's not impossible that he is an American living in Manchester, though the CF explanation is more likely. Dishwasher really is stretching it, though it is what my friend calls her husband.

I would leave a poor review with screenshots of the property and the wording on the listing and report to Airbnb

Bath means bathtub in the UK, I think, but this could be cultural because I've heard Americans refer to a downstairs low with basin as a 'bathroom' where there is no bath or shower.

I'll say it again (and others have pointed it out too): on Airbnb it obviously means a bathtub, as evidenced by the picture of a bathtub that goes along with it.

We expected a bath as well, currently arguing with dickhead owner as he says it means “bathing facilities”.

No bath, just a tiny shower cubicle.

He also used “dishwasher” to mean a sink.

Owner is a dick he is wrong on both counts

Air BnB refunded us a third of the overall cost of the booking. Happy with that.
