In reply to Julian. That is the oddest response Julian. Simply warped. No age matters, Ethic both business and social, manners, logic, and more does. This man is a deviant. Downright and outright

The same exact thing happened to me, at a different place though. They said they flagged the hosts account but that never happened. They just said that to keep me quiet. All Airbnb cares about is making money . They have case workers from over seas who you can barely understand because of the language barrier. I wish we could find other people this has happened to and start a lawsuit. Or go through the media. They actually dropped My Airbnb account to try an silence me, because I kept asking them to pull down their site. Reading what you wrote, I feel like your writing my story because their very similar this should never be happening, it’s against the law and something should be done about it.

This is why there are strict regulations with regards to hotel management. A Professional Association for Hostels need to be there. Even if hostels do cost more, they have strict guidelines that they must follow. What are you going to do if you were fed the host’s bodily fluids because he had a few screws loose? Are there safety procedures in place? Criminal records check? Are they licensed and bonded? Of course 99.9% of hosts wouldn’t do such a thing but I have heard of hosts sharing left over food from other guests and using that to serve the next guest’s meal in Beijing. One place even collected left over pop and they consolidated the old pop into a 2 litre bottle and put it back in the fridge to be resold for 2.5RMB per cup.

Oh Jesus…that’s what you take from this? Of course. To be honest, her mentioning his age is in more of a “shouldn’t you be old enough to know better?” context but sure, his and your feelings about age are way more important than her not being assaulted.

So what if he was in his 50’s. The fact you mention his age at all smacks of ageism. He could report you for being ageist. You may have not appreciated him touching you but if he had been 23 you would not have mentioned his age.
