30 Of The Most Epic Airbnb And Hotel Fails That Will Make You Cringe

I’m tired of Airbnb. It used to be a great alternative to hotels, but now it’s only worthwhile for large groups. When traveling alone or with one other person, I prefer hotels. The increasing number of Airbnb fails shared online is concerning. Hotels have their flaws, but at least I don’t have to worry about washing sheets.

People vent their frustrations online, and I’ve come across some unforgettable hotel and Airbnb horror stories. Here are 30 recent instances shared by guests.
