Airbnb, how many towels per person, would you expect to be provided?

[Madmother63]

I stayed at an Airbnb last weekend with my daughter and we were provided with 1 bath towel for the 2 of us! We let it go as only for 2 nights.

Now I'm in Spain with my DH for a longer period. The flat is lovely, but only 2 bath towels provided! How do hosts expect people to dry their hair when stepping out of a shower! My DH is on the case and is getting 2 hand towels delivered later.

AIBU to expect 2 towels?

Learn to dry yourself with a flannel.

so which do you get to dry - your body or your hair?

The norm generally is a bath towel and a hand towel per person but my ideal would be a bath sheet, a bath towel and a hand towel per person.
As an aside, I can’t believe pp are so baffled by wrapping hair in a towel. I refuse to believe it hasn’t been seen, if not in person then in a film or on tv 😂

I've never had this issue, it would really annoy me! And I go on a lot of breaks, ranging from lovely plush properties to a grotty air B&B in Blackpool earlier this year (not slating it at all,they were fantastic hosts but in comparison)!
Always had more than enough towels.

One each. I hate that they give you tiny bath towels and not sheets

I don't have short hair but have never used a separate hair towel. I've also never been showering with other women so wouldn't have seen others do this.
I use a bath sheet and dry my hair while the bath sheet is still around me.

No, haven’t swam for 40yrs and never set foot in a gym

This.

Why ? I need to wrap my v long thick hair in a towel so I can then dry my body. Hand towels are too small for my hair. They can’t contain the bouffant.

I was thinking that! I have a lot of hair. If there is only towel you have the debate of do I dry myself first and then do hair but have my hair dripping all over the floor while I do my body first or do I freeze while I do my hair first and then have to dry myself with a completely sodden towel.

Yeah when I only have one I have to dry my body while I’m bent down so my hair drips onto the shower, then when my bodies dry I wrap my hair in the wet towel.

I have long curly hair and don't need a separate towel for it! I squeeze the water out of my hair, pat it slightly with the towel (half hearted curly girl style) and then use the towel for my body. I don't prance around the house with my hair wrapped up on my head because I just need it and its not possible to get dry without it or whatever

Sorry, no justification for me thinking its twatty, really! It just is to me. Apologies!

What do you dry your hair with if the towel is wrapped around you?

I think it very much depends on the length and texture/porosity of your hair.
I can squeeze mine out, but it's still dripping and very wet.
I use one of those ready formed turban things - just have to remember I'm wearing it before I go out.

For 1-2 nights, one normal-sized towel per person, bath mat, extra hand towel in the bathroom.

Many people don't use more than one, but everything made available must be washed anyway.

For longer stay two (bigger and smaller) per person.

eh? Do you have a buzz cut or something? I have long thick hair. I definitely need a towel to wrap it in while
i I dry my body with another one. Otherwise I’d just be soaked down my back again by all the water running out of it (even when squeezed out in shower. My hair holds a lot of water!)

Exactly!

You really have “no idea” how to use a towel for your hair? 😂 come off it.

I am happy to use Hotel / B and B towels, but I really get the shudders at the thought of using a hotel/ bb face flannel. Same difference but no,never,gross,vomit!

Do you have fine hair? My thick hair holds so much water it’s like a cascade down my back!

Have you NEVER been in a gym or swimming pool changing room??

I’m not “prancing”

The bath sheet thats around my body. They are huge so can do my hair while the bath sheet is round my body.

Do people really not just take their own towels?
I always take my own.

Of course not, unless you know you specifically need to. If you’re not travelling by car who wants to fill their luggage with towels and then even if in a car have to take them home damp. Ugh.

But the bath towels in hotels and air b&bs often aren’t huge bath sheets. And you can’t turban a huge towel!
