"Toilet Roll Only Supplied On First Day”: 16 Vacation Rentals That Probably Had People Wishing They'd Just Gotten A Hotel
IDK about you, but back in the day, I LOVED booking on vacation rental sites. It felt like such a great value and much more personal than a hotel.
But lately, I've been feeling a little differently. And after looking at these 16 photos, I think I'm good on booking any kind of vacation rental in the near future. LMK if you feel the same:
1.This Airbnb host who tried to charge their guests for touching the thermostat.
2.This vacation rental "bathroom" located ON THE STAIRS.
3.This vacation rental that the host so graciously "upgraded" their guest to after canceling their original reservation.
4.This hot tub that I'm convinced hasn't been cleaned by the host once.
5.This "notice" to guests that makes me wonder why the hosts even rented out their home in the first place.

Additional rules
This is mainly short stay place, so we don't expect much luggage with guest. If you have more than 2 big items with each guest, you have to keep in external storage. Visitors strictly not allowed, without prior permission from me! No smoking in the rooms. No use of washing machine or kitchen for guests staying less than 4 days. Washing machine use only once every 4 days for long term guests. Leave a clean room/bathroom prior to departure. Working or studying from home not allowed. Wifi only adequate for making video calls or light internet use. No cooking for washing machine use for guests staying less than 4 days. Toilet roll supplied only on first day. Long stayers will have to do their own cleaning and buying rolls and consumable. Towels available upon request.
6.This "piss yellow" water that a host refused to take care of.
7.This entrance with the instructions, "The key safe is near the white door…it is silver with black plastic." 🥲
8.These "kitchen rules" that basically say, "Please pretend like you don't exist."
9.This note from a rental host who expected guests to tip after charging them a $250 cleaning fee.
The note says:
This home has been carefully and lovingly cleaned for your personal enjoyment. Housekeeping thanks your for your generous tip.
10.This rental that conveniently has the toilet and sink so close, guests can poop and wash their hands at the same time.
11.This cleaning charge that's more than the actual fee for a one-night stay.
12.These yellow sheets that I'd be scared to inquire about. 🤢
13.This pool that might as well be a swamp.
14.This note from a host that forbids guests from having sex under their roof(!!!).
The note says:
Personal intimacy
As a deeply religious family, we might insist all unmarried couples do not engage in sexual intercourse or physical intimacy while staying in the house. Of course, this request extends even more forcibly to homosexual guests. There is a selection of 'soft pornographic' magazines in the wardrobe in the main bedroom that guests may use to individually relieve pent up sexual frustrations but we would ask that all masturbatory activity is restricted to the bathroom. Thank you.
