Also Airbnb does not forward payment to the host until you have been happily in the unit for 24 hours. Problems reported in the first 24 hours increase your chances of getting a refund (the host hasn’t received payment yet).

Brian is correct use the Airbnb communication platform to notify the host of problems. Any voice or text communications off the platform may not be considered as Airbnb assists you.

Hosts must have time to clean the home between guests. You stated you arrived while the maid was cleaning. It sounds like you arrived early (before check in time) so of course the home wasn’t cleaned. You left and did not return after the check-in time. It was your choice to not give the rental a chance.

I don’t understand you criticizing the rental for lack of cleanliness because you never saw the final cleaned home. This is not an Airbnb hell story…this is an unreasonable guest story.

Contact Air BnB immediately when things start to go south. Don’t telephone host; ALWAYS use the Air BnB message system for any and all communication with host. This is vital proof. EVERYONE renting should learn this comment by heart.
