I have just had the most awful experience with airbnb and my question is whether to leave a review or feedback, or just leave it?

I diligently check every review both on trip advisor and on airbnb to help me decide on whether to book etc. So when I researched this place, the brilliant reviews gave me confidence. They were outstanding. The house was expensive well over 1000 for a weekend, but when we arrived it was appalling!

*Three large and very bright puddles of dogs' urine in the bedrooms, the bedroom smelt awful it was obvious what it was immediately
*Stains and cigarette burns on every carpet
*large Pee stains all around the loo, the bathrooms stank of stale urine
*Every wall and skirting was chipped, stained and scruffy
*The stairs to the garden were deathtrap and were cracked and in places completely missing.

Should I post a review to warn others? The owner is refunding me, but importantly has told me they can't do anything because the place is fully booked to the end of the year apparently. I feel really sorry for families arriving there, it is truly awful and disgusting. We kept our coats and shoes on and left immediately (10 hours driving in total)

It is our first time using airbnb so I am unsure what to do...

100% leave a bad review. I recently had the same experience with a place and the person was a "super host". We left for a hotel after an hour

Even if it is fully booked, surely they do clean it between customers. So they certainly should and could at least clean the pee puddles.

The shabby decor maybe will have to wait, but if the stairs are dangerous, they need to at the very least put a sign up. Sounds shocking and yes please do post a truthful review.

Get your refund then post a truthful review.
There is no excuse for filth esp in the middle of a pandemic.

That's what the review system is for!
