To think this is not acceptable for a “breakfast bundle” at Airbnb?

[Scottsleeping]

Me and DP went away for a night away and picked to stay at an Airbnb on Saturday night. We checked in about 3 and had to leave at 9 on Sunday. It was expensive (around £150 for the night) but it was a nice place. The owner messaged me before we got there and asked if we would like to add on a breakfast box each. Sounded like a nice way to refuel for another day of walking so I said yes. A request was sent for £20, which seemed okay for a breakfast for 2.

When I got there, there was 2 buns from Aldi, a tin of beans from Aldi, 2 bacon rashers in the packet, 2 sausages and 2 hash browns, and 10 cherry tomatoes. It was in a plastic tub in the fridge.

I am not a complainer at all. I really don’t want to complain, but I really don’t think this is justified. Aibu?

That's ridiculous. YANBU.

It sounds acceptable. Not great, not amazing.

Cheap fuckers. Leave it on the review so they can’t mug anyone else off.

I would have asked what was included before saying yes and paying, personally.

For 20 quid and you have to cook it yourself???

They're making a decent profit off of that aren't they?
I'd absolutely complain as that is shit for what you paid.

Yes, I’d agree. I mean, it wouldn’t work for me, as I’m vegetarian, but it sounds like a just about adequate provision for an ‘English breakfast’.

What were you expecting? Did you ask in advance?

For £20? It was all in Aldi packaging!

No eggs!?! I don't think that is acceptable, you could get a better breakfast cooked for you for £10 each in my area.

I'm terrible at complaining so I would probably suck it up, but yes that's shit. I might put something like 'breakfast box is available, check what's on offer before ordering' on the review. But my inability to get bolshie about this sort of crap is why I don't do Airbnb any more.

Awful! Having to leave at 9am is cheeky too!

Why would you not ask what it was before ordering?

If you’re needing to leave fairly early, I wouldn’t want a breakfast I need to cook & wash up after personally.

I suppose a similar breakfast in a cafe might cost around £10 each but it would at least be prepared for you with no cleaning up afterwards.

I wouldn’t complain as such but I would certainly mention it in my review.

I don't know what you'd be expecting? The same stuff from Sainsbury's have been OK?

Of course there'll be a profit in it for them, they're running business.

I’d be more bothered about the 9am checkout.

I'd also have asked what the breakfast bundle was before paying £20 for it!

I'd say that's just about an adequate cooked breakfast but a ridiculous price. You can get a big full English breakfast for less than that in any number of cafes near me and it is only a bit more for unlimited cold and cooked items in a Premier Inn. And there's no cooking or washing up to do.

I'd love to know what's acceptable about it.

Awful! The idea of a box implies some proper bread, pastries, jams, that sort of thing.

And then maybe some items to cook as well, like a box of eggs.

What did you think would be included? Sounds ok to me. They're not doing to provide it for free,are they? I think I check next time.

What were you expecting, though? I’d have gone out for breakfast, or you had the option to bring it from home, so I suppose you’re paying for convenience. But I would definitely have asked exactly what my £20 got me.

Always best to ask what it includes beforehand. I'd leave a honest review stating that you assumed it might be slightly more generous.

That's probably not even a fiver's worth of food and supplying single items out of packets is really tight for what you paid.

DP and I had a lovely cooked breakfast with tea and more food than that for £9 each in a seaside cafe last weekend. YANBU to feel a bit ripped off by what they gave you.

Well no it's not great for £20 but I would have asked in advance what was included. You would have been better going to a Wetherspoons!

I was expecting a nice breakfast, not something I could have picked up from the Aldi that was a 2 minute drive from the house. As others have said, we could have got a cooked breakfast for around the same price at a cafe and have no preparing or clearing up to do
