One time I stayed at an Airbnb and the pictures made it look like a modern, clean place. But when I got there, the whole house smelled like old socks. The bedding was dirty and there were strange noises coming from the attic all night. It was really creepy.
Once I stayed at an Airbnb where the host had a parrot. That parrot would greet every guest in the morning with 'Good morning, sunshine!'. It was so funny and made the whole stay really unique.
Many people have stories about uncleanliness. Like finding hair all over the bathroom, dirty towels that looked like they hadn't been washed in ages, and even bugs in the bedroom. It's really gross and can ruin your whole Airbnb experience. You expect a certain level of cleanliness when you book a place, but sometimes it's just not there.
Sure. One funny story is about a guest who thought the Airbnb was haunted. They heard strange noises at night. Turns out it was just the old pipes making noise when the heating system kicked in. Another one is a host who left a welcome basket with some local cheese. But the guest was lactose - intolerant and their dog ate the cheese and had the funniest reaction running around in circles.
A friend of mine once booked an Airbnb in a small town. When they got there, they realized the place was filled with old - fashioned dolls. It was a bit creepy at first but then they started making up stories about the dolls' adventures and it turned into a really funny experience.
One horror story is about arriving at an Airbnb and finding it completely filthy. There were dirty dishes in the sink, stains on the bedsheets, and a strange smell throughout the place. It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation rental, but instead, it was a nightmare.
A group of friends booked an Airbnb in a big city for a weekend getaway. The apartment was in a really cool, artsy neighborhood. They discovered that the host was an artist and had decorated the whole place with his own paintings. The host also gave them some great tips on the best local galleries and cafes to visit. They had a great time exploring the neighborhood, and the Airbnb was like a home away from home, full of character and charm.
There are Airbnb stories where guests entered a place that smelled really bad, like something had died there. It turned out that there was a dead animal in the ventilation system. In addition, some guests had the experience of the door unlocking by itself in the middle of the night. They were terrified, thinking someone was trying to get in.
Once I booked an Airbnb in an old house. When I arrived at night, the door made creepy noises every time it opened or closed. The heating system didn't work well, and it was freezing. There were also strange marks on the walls that looked like they were made by something scratching. I left the next day.
One common Airbnb horror story is arriving at a dirty and unhygienic place. Guests often find dirty sheets, a filthy kitchen, or a bathroom full of hair and grime. Another is dealing with unresponsive hosts who don't answer messages when there are problems. And a lot of people have horror stories about false advertising, where the place looks nothing like the pictures on the website.
