40 Times Hotel And Airbnb Guests Were So Surprised By Their Hosts’ Fails That They Took A Picture (New Pics)
Get a good night's sleep and it'll make whatever problems you've had during the day less tiresome. Likewise, roll around until dawn without closing your eyes and everything will become even worse. So when you're planning a trip, finding the right accommodation is one of the most important tasks.
However, both hotels and Airbnbs aren't always giving us — their customers — the full picture. We book the place, thinking it's going to fulfill all of our needs but then arrive at the premises and find something a little extra. Like a bad smell and dirt in the hot tub. Or, on the contrary, find a crucial feature (such as access to the toilet) missing.
To remind you to keep a vigilant eye when making your next booking, we at Bored Panda put together a list of pictures that guests took when they felt like the hosts may have missed the mark on maintaining their property. Continue scrolling to view the gallery and be sure to check out the talk we had with travel writer and photographer Jon Miksis, who shares his adventures on the blog My Global Viewpoint.

You can see where a single tear landed on the letter. I hope she gets offered a managerial position at a rival hotel and drives brians hotel out of business (He doesn't deserve a capital letter)
Aria the Dog Lover 2 years ago
If anyone is wondering. The letter writer trained in many different areas and basically did everything a manager does but without the job title. So she wanted the job title and her boss said she'd be perfect for it if the job opens up. The job opened up and he didn't consider her, he hired some other dude. So she quit and ended the letter with "I'd be treated better at McDonald's."

When you research accommodations for your next trip, traveler Jon Miksis believes the first thing you should do is figure out what you want. "Are you looking for a luxurious resort or a hostel or guesthouse? Do you want to be within walking distance of the beach, or are you happy in a peaceful countryside setting? These are some of the questions I ask myself before booking a place," Miksis told Bored Panda. "Once you get clarity on your preferences, you can start your search for accommodation."
"One of the most important things to consider before booking is location, location, location," Miksis added. "It's all about finding the right balance between proximity to the things you want to see and do, and peace and quiet. You don't want to be right in the middle of a noisy tourist area if you're looking for a relaxing getaway, but you also don't want to be so far off the beaten path that it takes you hours to get anywhere."

"Lastly, don't forget to read the fine print! Make sure you know the amenities included (like free Wi-Fi or breakfast), what the cancellation policy is, and if there are any hidden fees or taxes you need to be aware of."

The hotel has placed the mirror at a height that is suitable for mostly men. This is mostly sexist. Where I'm from 157cm (5'2") is a pretty average height for a woman. In the UK, the average is 2.5cm (1") taller. To have the anti-fog section of a mirror set at too high is exclusionary and sexist.

Honestly? This design is great (happen to stay in 4-5 hotels with this concept) when the view from the bathroom allows watching TV in the bedroom. Even better, when soaking in the bathtub and watching telly! As some pointed out, it's not so often that you share rooms with work colleagues... and when sharing a room with your SO, you should be comfortable enough. If not, wait until stomach flu hits you in a one-toilet apartment. Or the overall revelation that your fairly new opposite and you are such a grat match as you've thought (traveling does wonders to get to know a person closely).

Conversely, when the traveler is feeling adventurous, he prefers private hosts. "With Airbnb, you can find unique accommodations — from quirky treehouses and tiny houses to cozy apartments in the city. Plus, you get a more local experience by staying in a residential neighborhood and cooking your own meals. And let's not forget the added bonus of having a local host who can offer recommendations on the best-hidden gems in the area!"

People who have never booked a room with a view complaining about a room they've never been in. The suite we had for our honeymoon had a great view you could see from the toilet. Our relatives/friends showed up just to poop.
However, it's impossible to consider (and prepare) for everything. Every now and then you will be disappointed. "It's one of the worst feelings when you get to the property and it doesn't meet your expectations," Jon Mikssi said. "Maybe the photos were misleading or the description was inaccurate — whatever the reason, it can put a real damper on your trip. However, there are a few steps you can take to try and remedy the situation."
"Firstly, it's important to communicate your concerns to the property owner/manager. They might not be aware that there's an issue and they might be able to fix it for you. Whether it's a noisy AC unit, a dirty bathroom, or an uncomfortable bed, don't be afraid to speak up and let them know what's not up to par. Sometimes a quick fix is all it takes to turn things around," the traveler explained.

I Got Back To The Hotel After Working 12 Hours And Found That The Staff Had Put All Of Our Stuff Into A Trash Bag And Gave Our Room Away
gerry.garh 2 years ago
I'm a front desk manager in a franchised hotel. I guess the reservation ends at noon and hasn't been extended. Housekeeping finds the guest's luggage still in the room, and the front desk tries to authorize the credit card on record for an extra night, which gets declined. An attempt to contact the guest is made with no results. The manager only then directs housekeeping to retrieve and store the guest's belongings. I had to make similar decisions several times; when the hotel is sold out, it could result in a conflicting situation, but hospitality is a service; you sell it today or lose it.

In some cases, you may even need to go further and find alternative accommodations.

"Be sure to review the cancelation policy and any fees that might be involved before making any decisions."
"And lastly, be sure to leave a review of the experience for future travelers to see. It's important to be honest and detailed so others can make informed decisions when booking their own accommodations," he added. "Just remember, even bad experiences have their upsides.

In the US, stairs are required to be the same height, width and depth for the entire run of stairs. These numbers are determined by the rise and run (total height and length of stairs). Some states require certain types of stairs to be/have a specific rise and/or run, like spiral stairs, ships ladders, indoor stairs, outdoor stairs, stairs for loft areas, etc. The reason is because our brain sees the first step and expects them all to be the same. When they aren't, serious accidents usually happen: sprains, bruises, dislocated joints, broken bones, concussions, TMIs, even comas and death.

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.
Imjust jim 2 years ago
Agreed re electrocution, but they might get branded.

A real time saver! No extension leads and no toaster required! Seriously though, that is an electrocution hazard and the fact it draws so much power that nothing else can be used is a massive red flag

Actually, this is a standard type of bathroom heater in a lot of Mediterranean countries, but this particular one is decades old. I have one each in the full bathrooms in my house, one of which I bought when we moved in six years ago. The difference between newer models and this is that there's a metal screen over the front of them so no one can touch them and get burnt; mine have two straight heating elements. It may be that there was once a screen, but that it broke, fell off, got rusty.... whatever, and disappeared. The switches are outside of the bathrooms, not only for the heaters but for the lights, and by law, bathrooms do not have electrical outlets. These heaters are actually pretty safe -- you could get hurt by touching the element, but the electrical wiring is all enclosed at the back, where it is directly attached to the wall, with only three wires connecting to the wires in the wall. And they heat like a charm, perfect for a small bathroom.

Cost. A traditional wall between the bathroom and bedroom might use up 11cm*240cm. That is area developers have to pay for, but get no investment return from. The average construction cost of a 2-star hotel in Chicago is $2695/sq meter. Using a thin sheet of glass instead of a wall represents a $700 reduction in the cost to build a single room.

There Is A Light Switch On The Roof Of The Hotel I'm Staying
gerry.garh 2 years ago
The building has been drastically remodeled 32 times in the past 300 years, including several war bombardments; the city code inspector commits suicide after a visit, and all maintenance and repairs are done by a crew of inmates on a work-release program. Has never been cleaned. Owner: Airbnb patrons will love this property!

The Placement Of This Light Switch In A Stockholm Hotel. I Stayed In This Hotel Recently And Woke Up 3 Times Overnight By Turning The Light On
Freya the Wanderer 2 years ago
Some goof must have thought, Hey, let's put a light switch on the bed so people can turn the light on or off without getting out of bed. Never thought through the consequences.

This Motel Light Switch
gerry.garh 2 years ago
I grew up in an isolated city in Argentina, and it had DC (direct current) until the earlier '60s. So my house had those light switches with a spring-loaded "guillotine" type contact inside. DC-light-s...a8a755.jpg

Not surprised it looks like it wouldn't hold up a slightly portly pigeon!?

Lol I'd find a way to get my broken butt out there and I know smoking kills but truthfully at this juncture it's not an issue for me but I do make sure not w hen the doggos or Grandbabies are around and only 3 a day. Still feel the guilt though!

reminds me of the first place i rented after i left home as my bathroom was set up the same way. i would sit in the old fashioned claw bathtub and ponder how they got ever silhouette edge as it was done within 1/8th of an inch from the commode when opening and closing the door.

The Toilet Paper Of The 4-Star Hotel I Am Staying At
Paul Aasajärv 2 years ago
By the way, according to the perforation, this piece is 2x longer than the usual 3-4 layered papers. Maybe it's high time to learn how to fold paper several times in addition to taking pictures?

The on off k**b is supposed to be on top and the hose coming from underneath. But the hook up pipes are coming up from the floor instead of down from the ceiling. So there are more than one job that got screwed up.

Go to tripadvisor and look up Croft Hotel 3 Stanley Road, Leicester LE2 1RF England Look for DCMOwner and read what I put. There is so much wrong with the place that it would not fit on Bored Panda. A true hotel horror story

Whoa! Looks like good reviews ended in 2018, then downward spiral that is still in progress. At least 2 people encountered sketchy people at entrance, one was followed inside. Bedbugs, dust, poor lighting, dirty sheets, apathetic to derisive service people. I'm flabbergasted.

In This Hotel, Once I Take Out The Card Needed For The Door, It Will Cut The Power Off To My Room. So While I'm Gone, No Devices Will Be Charging
Bart 2 years ago
This is quite common but you can insert any card in that slot (some shop rewards card or so) and the power will stay on.

Our (family owned) hotel has seen this at several conventions and get-togethers of hoteliers as an energy-saving option. We’ve also seen the lawsuits and payouts for “medical equipment” not charging because of this. The interesting one was a guest who brought a portable telemetric device that transmitted their implanted ♡ device information daily and was unable to transmit, unbeknownst to guest. Has it done its job they’d have to have an in-office adjustment to their device. Because it didn’t they went for a week + with burnt lead and had to have surgery for replacement. They sued the independent hotel & won. I’ve spoken with our outside ADA consultant who said there are hundreds of portable medical devices requiring power & if we went this way we should have all ADA rooms uninterrupted. But then, we can’t ask guests these questions & many device users don’t need an ADA room. Which leaves us and them blind to the potential problem. Not worth the risk.

Just plan ahead and charge things while you're sleeping. Don't let your electronics get so low, that they run out during the day. Simple!
Remi (He/Him) 2 years ago
I wouldn't recommend leaving a device charging without supervision anyway. If someone unscrupulous employee doesn't steal it, it's still a fire hazard. I don't even remember when was the last time I saw a hotel room without this energy saving feature

there was a time when i started considering getting an abnb when visiting places just for the convenience of being closer to where i wanted to go. also, since i often rent a chair due to disability it would be nice to get an electric one rather than a manual one as the latter can be folded if i had to take a cab. then, i started reading/seeing these posts of people thinking they are running a 5 star accommodation with all the fees added on. nope. will pay for the hotel, make sure i take my leather gloves, get that manual chair and wheel myself where ever i want to go knowing that i won't be gouged, my room will be cleaned, and the review i leave won't be leveraged against me.

I know a few people who put things together like some of these places and it is just unbelievable. I ask them why and usually all I get is "Well it's cheaper" or "I'm saving time". Aren't you afraid someone might get hurt? Nah they just need to watch what they are doing. I just walk away shaking my head and tell them they missed to many days of shop and homec.

I travelled for work for 15 years or so. I stayed in hundreds of hotels, from four star to the dive at the corner (I'm looking at you, Motel 6). In all that time I never had a mouse in my room. I stayed at a hotel across the street from Madison Square Garden (I can't find the name) that was supposed to be 5 star. There was a mouse in my room. I called the desk and they really didn't care, but said they'd send someone up to catch it. I said I wanted a new room! So they moved me to a new room with a TV that was VERY VERY old, had a c**p picture, and wouldn't let me watch the game going on across the street.

pretty sure i that the hotel i stayed at one time was much higher quality than the airbnb we stayed at the previous time when we went to nevada.to be fair,the hotel was the sierra nevada resort. and it only costs around 200 dollars a night. where as most days airbnbs are like 300 plus 600 service fee and an extra 20 bucks everytime you use a kitchen appliance.
