20 Times An Airbnb Reservation Turned Out To Be Totally Different
When we book an airbnb stay, we have an idea in our minds of what to expect based off pics & reviews. However, sometimes even the best research attempts don’t yield the actual truth of the situation. The following images were documented by real people who booked with just normal expectations, but the product fell far below even sub-par standards. Take a look at some real shady short-term rentals that we’d all best be warned to stay away from down below.
#1 The Main Reason I Rented This Airbnb Was Because Of The Hot Tub. However, It Was Dirty, And The Smell Was Terrible
#2 This Hidden Camera Disguised As A Clock In My Airbnb
#3 My Bed At The Hotel I’m Staying
#4 I Booked A Cheap Hotel In Lisbon With A Friend. The Pictures On The Booking Website Never Showed The Toilet And The Bed In The Same Picture. I pray my friend doesn’t have to go to the toilet tonight.
#5 I Went On A Trip Several Weeks Ago To New Orleans, And Our Airbnb Host Didn’t Tell Us That The Pool Was Unusable And Air Conditioners Were Broken Too
#6 My Airbnb Stairs. Every Step Is A Different Height, Width, And Depth
#7 The Faucet Is Placed Further Than It Should Be
#8 The Mirror In My Hotel Bathroom Has An Antifog Section. Unfortunately, I’m 5’2
#9 The Only Outlet In My Hotel Room
#10 Worst Hotel Room Design Ever. What’s Funny Is That The Bathroom Door Sill Has A Lock On It
#11 My Girlfriend Forgot The Lock Was In Place And Opened The Door Fairly Gently. Lock Snapped Immediately. This Hotel Makes Me Feel Very Safe
#12 The Built-In USB Charger In My Hotel Wasn’t Working, So I Turned It Over To Take A Look, And This Is What I Saw
#13 I’m Staying In The Hotel, And This Is My Bathroom
#14 There’s A Mirror Screwed Into The Ceiling Above The Toilet In My Airbnb
#15 Striped Carpet On Hotel Stairs. Hard To Use Even After Two Weeks And Completely Sober
#16 The Shower In My Hotel Is A Glass Cube In The Center Of The Room
#17 Our Shower In Croatian Airbnb
We stayed at the Airbnb for a few months, and I used this to heat the bathroom. I didn’t know if I would get electrocuted or barbecued. It did heat the bathroom pretty well, but it took up so much power in the apartment that you couldn’t run anything else simultaneously, or it would trip the breaker.
#18 You Have To Step Over The Bathtub To Get Between The Toilet And The Sink
#19 The Water In Our Airbnb Has Been Yellow And Tastes Metallic For A Week Now. The Owner Says They Can’t Do Anything About It
#20 I’ve Never Seen A Hotel Pool Sign So Blunt Before
#22 I Came Back To A Pitch-Black Hotel Room, Then Turned On The Lights And Saw This
#23 The Size Of This Hotel Key Chain That I Have To Carry Around Everywhere With Me For The Next Few Days
#24 The Airbnb I’m Renting
#25 I Got Locked Out Of My Hotel Room, So I Went To Find The Front Desk Lady, And This Was On The Counter

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
