50 Of The Worst Hotel And Airbnb Fails
Most of us associate hotels and Airbnbs with holidays—a special time that doesn't come around too often. A time we want to make the most out of. So, naturally, we're super excited to get away, stay in a lovely hotel, and chill by the pool. Just relax. However, sometimes our expectations aren't met. Maybe the carpet design makes our room look like a bloody crime scene, or maybe the ceiling of your bathroom is so low, you have to kneel in order to take a piss. To remind you not to skip the reviews before booking, Bored Panda has compiled a list of hotel and Airbnb fails that aren't doing these establishments any favors. Continue scrolling and check out the pictures!

This Mirror In A 5-Star Hotel
Seth Stephens 5 years ago (edited)
If you look at the reflection of the room itself its probably just the toilet and the sink and mirror are elsewhere so this is just a decoration.... But really nice hotels usually dont have half used rolls of toilet paper haphazardly laying around on the counter

I was at a hotel once - not a cheap hotel, either - where the only window in my room looked out into the elevator lobby. Literally every single person who stepped off the elevator couldn't help but look directly into my room. Also the air conditioning was broken (in 90 degree heat), so they spent three hours installing a new one... that smelled like it was burning. I told them enough was enough and that I would be finding another place to stay, and they said because it was after 8 pm by then that it was company policy to charge me for the full night (even though I hadn't spent one minute in the room). I'll spare you the exhausting details, but the summary would be no matter what I did I never got my money back.

My worst hotel experience was pulling up in the parking lot and seeing several cop cars and an ambulance. Our family started joking about what might have happened. They hadn't closed, so we went into the lobby. We saw little red spots on the floor and of course start going "oooo, it's blooood!" Long story short, two people actually had been murdered. We went to get on the elevator, but the one that opened was the one a crime scene team was busy cleaning. On top of everything, we were next door to the room they were killed in. My brother and I kept trying to get into that room from ours using the connecting door. Our mom kept smacking us and telling us to go to the pool LOL
