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.

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.

My Girlfriend Forgot The Lock Was In Place And Opened The Door Fairly Gently. Lock Snapped Immediately. This Hotel Makes Me Feel Very Safe

Yeah, so FYI, most "safety catches" of this sculpted, shiny style are cast from stuff colloquially known as "pot metal" or ZAMAC (or similar,) which is fundamentally the same stuff Matchbox/ Hot Wheels cars are made of. If the catch isn't solid brass or made from obviously folded steel, then it's weaker than the wood it's screwed to.
