I heard of a case where the Airbnb host was extremely unresponsive. Guests had issues with the heating not working during a cold winter stay. They tried to contact the host multiple times but got no reply. They had to endure freezing temperatures in the accommodation. It was a really bad 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.
There was this Airbnb where the location was misrepresented. It was advertised as a quiet and safe neighborhood, but in reality, it was in a very noisy and somewhat dangerous area. There were rowdy people outside at all hours, and the guests didn't feel safe leaving the property or even sleeping at night.
One horror story is about a host who promised a clean and quiet place. But when the guests arrived, the room was filthy with dirty sheets and trash everywhere. The host was unresponsive too.
One horror story is about a neighbor who would constantly play extremely loud music late at night. Every night around 2 am, the blaring music would start and it was so loud that it felt like the walls were vibrating. The Airbnb guests couldn't sleep at all. They tried to talk to the neighbor, but he was very rude and just ignored them.
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.
I had a horror story where the Airbnb host was really creepy. He would keep showing up unannounced. One time he even entered the place while I was taking a shower. It made me feel so unsafe that I left early.
I once had an Airbnb horror story. When I arrived at the place, it smelled really bad, like mold and old cigarettes. The pictures online were clearly from a long time ago as the place was run - down. There were also bugs in the bathroom. I immediately contacted the host but they were unresponsive. I had to find another place to stay at the last minute which was a huge hassle.
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 might be a story where guests checked into a Tulum Airbnb and found out that there was no running water. They had to deal with this inconvenience throughout their stay, and the host was unresponsive to their calls for help. It was really frustrating as they couldn't even take proper showers or use the toilet normally.
Dirty bathrooms are a common Airbnb horror story. I've heard of cases where the toilet was clogged and the shower was full of hair. Another common one is false advertising. For example, the pictures showed a large, modern room, but in reality, it was small and shabby.
One horror Airbnb story is about a guest who found strange handprints on the mirror every morning. No matter how many times they wiped it clean, the handprints would reappear during the night. It was really creepy.
I once had an Airbnb where the heating didn't work during a really cold winter. It was freezing inside the place. I contacted the host, but they were unresponsive. I had to buy extra blankets and heaters just to get through the night. It was a horrible experience.
