The property does not look bad at all for AirBnB. You do know properties have different standards, and if you want a hotel-standard property, you should pay for a hotel?

We can’t comment on the smell or the lock, and UK weather often makes things look drab. There isn’t anything in your photos that supports your view this property was sub-standard (in relation to what you may have paid).

The terms of service as well as guest refund policy state you must contact Airbnb within 24 hours and allow the host the opportunity to remedy any issues you encounter in order to be considered for any refund.

It seems like you didn’t do that, so you won’t be eligible for any refund. Also, you should read the terms. You waived your right to sue Airbnb when you agreed to the terms in favor of mediation.

I’m not sure why you didn’t do this but some lessons cost money.

This complaint obviously is coming from someone better suited to a hotel. The complainer paid $22 per night–according to Tripadvisor the cheapest hotel in Milton Kaynes is $35 per night. So you get what you pay for. The wire hanging from the ceiling is a cable TV connection. It is not unsafe. Even if it was connected to the cable TV transmitter it is 40-60 volts– nowhere near enough voltage to hurt anyone.. Most properties retrofitted with cable TV wiring are wired like that. As for the bag of garbage, obviously, someone was too lazy to open the trash can to put it inside, In the time it took to gripe about it, the complainer could have put it in the trash can or called the host and made them come to do it. I have stayed in hotels where slobs have left garbage bags in hallways, parking lots, etc.Obviously even the most attentive staff is not going to address it immediately. If the writer is that sensitive to ONE bag or garbage NEXT to the garbage can, Airbnb is definitely not for them.

“The British version of Beirut”? I can assure you that many Beirut inhabitants have a lot more style and good education compared to your pathetic, bigoted rant. Why do you bother travelling at all?
