A bed could be uncomfortable, the air conditioner might not work, or maybe there’s no hot water in the shower. These are some of the little annoyances most travelers have dealt with when staying at a hotel or Airbnb.
But have you ever found a four-page deep-cleaning checklist on the table that the host expects you to follow before leaving? Or walked into a rental only to find the toilet sitting right in the middle of a hallway near the stairs with zero privacy?
Some people have had the misfortune of experiencing these bizarre situations and more — and they immediately took pictures to share their pain with the world.
Bored Panda gathered up some of the funniest as well as the most frustrating booking fails to remind you that there really is no place like home.

#43 Living Next To An Airbnb Sucks
They are loud and obnoxious usually but now the jerks totally filled my recycling for the next two weeks. This bin is nowhere near their house. First the jerk who bought the house redid the shingles of their roof and got hundreds of roofing nails in my yard, where my dogs and kids play. And I had to go out and pick them up. I'm super steamed.

#45 Airbnb Host Tried To Bribe Me To Remove My 3 Star Review?
I get that a three star review is not great - my complaints were that the wifi was extremely spotty to the point of unusable and the bathroom door had no lock on it. Airbnb deems three stars to be a review of “ok”.
It’s not a super big deal for me, but it seems so gauche and tacky to offer money to remove a less than favourable (but honest) review. Tbf, they don’t say to remove it and they’ll pay me, but it’s heavily implied and it gives me an ill feeling.

#56 How I Found My Airbnb When Checking In
Host only wanted to offer to return the cleaning fee for $190 when I paid over $1,000 for just the Airbnb. Walked in and the cleaners forgot that they were supposed to clean the house from the last guests.

#57 Roaches In Our Airbnb
We rented this airbnb for my girlfriends birthday and we get there at 3 am and notice there’s roaches. We messaged the host and she told us they would get an exterminator out here today. Which we were fine with, we just wanted the situation fixed because we had no where else to stay. But turns out the exterminator came by while we were gone and heard my girlfriends dog and left and now can’t come back til Tuesday. We don’t even know what to do at this point. We just wanted a good trip:(
