15 People Who Arrived at Their Rental Homes Only to Receive a Massive Disappointment

In 2022, tourism doubled compared to 2021, which means that many people had to book accommodations. And while hotels are always there and ready to host people, many of us choose other platforms to book rooms from. Maybe it’s because they are cheaper and make holidays feel like you’re at home away from home. However, these places sometimes can have many negatives that are not easy to resolve.

1. “I went on a trip and our host didn’t tell us until we landed that the pool was unusable. The A/C in 80% of the house was broken too.”
