Key
Points:
1.
Hygiene
concerns
including
the
presence
of
bed
bugs
and
a
pervasive,
unpleasant
odor.
2.
The
hotel
owner
exhibits
rude
and
racist
behavior,
giving
off
an
unsettling
impression
of
being
potentially
volatile
and
prone
to
physical
aggression
if
confronted.
Story:
My
family
and
I
booked
a
room
through
Airbnb,
and
it
turned
out
to
be
the
worst
place
we
have
ever
experienced.
We
were
unable
to
sleep
due
to
the
presence
of
bugs
throughout
the
room.
The
bathroom
and
other
areas
emitted
a
terrible
odor,
making
our
stay
extremely
unpleasant.
Additionally,
the
hotel
owner
displayed
rude
and
racist
behavior.
Mistaking
my
boyfriend
for
being
from
Latin
America,
he
proceeded
to
make
offensive
comments.
Unnecessary
racists
comments
that,
according
to
him,
were
"advices".
While
I
am
already
dissatisfied
with
the
condition
of
the
place,
I
am
even
more
disappointed
with
Airbnb.
We
selected
this
accommodation
based
on
its
4.1
rating
on
Airbnb,
but
after
seeing
the
reviews
from
Google,
we
became
concerned
about
the
safety
and
cleanliness,
especially
considering
a
child
was
traveling
with
us.
We
contacted
Airbnb
several
hours
before
our
arrival,
expressing
our
concerns
and
requesting
a
change
or
cancellation.
Unfortunately,
they
refused
to
assist
us
and
only
offered
a
refund
or
assistance
if
the
bug
issue
turned
out
to
be
real.
Upon
arriving
at
the
place,
we
discovered
that
the
problems
were
indeed
real.
However,
it
was
already
1
am,
making
it
impossible
to
find
alternative
accommodation
at
such
short
notice.
We
managed
to
capture
one
photo
of
the
bugs
and
immediately
informed
Airbnb.
Shockingly,
they
denied
our
refund
request,
claiming
they
needed
at
least
two
photos
of
the
situation.
It
is
truly
incredulous!
We
had
called
them
beforehand,
explaining
the
entire
situation,
showing
the
reviews
and
other's
people
images,
but
at
no
point
did
Airbnb
mention
the
requirement
for
two
photos
to
initiate
a
refund.
