This is why I will not get an Air BNB⌠Couldnât you have just booked a hotel for the night instead of drive back home⌠I am so sorry you had to go thru that⌠I have heard way to many Airbnb stories I just canât do it
This is why I aint ever using Airbnb. The company is known for their deplorable customer service and lack of accountability. For 2k you couldâve stayed in at star hotel for a week. I live in Clearwater aaaaaaaand a vacation home is 1500 right on the beach⌠the whole concept is a scam, thereâs no stafty or sanitation standards they can hold anyone to. Only thing worse than being a renter is being a host whose property was damaged by a renter. One person was stuck with over 10k in damages and the app was just like sorry about your luck.
Chrissy Vestal Rehm this makes you never wanna stay airbnb again
I would personally sue the people of host yu rented from and his wife for menatal stress calling the cops on yâall.
AirBNB prolli wonât do nothing. l

As an Air bnb owner, this is all totally Wrong! I hope AirBnB honors your refund!
Thatâs unusual. Good luck with the refunds.

Report this to your bank to dispute the charges. The bank will investigate and make sure you get your money back
My concern would be what he has on the cameras. He snooped while you were gone, he has cameras in the house. The thought of him having cameras makes me sick.
Talk to your/a lawyer asap! $2k not refunded could be under felony not just civil. If you have to sue, include emotional & other damages as well as any vaca reservations not refunded.

My advice- always use a travel agent. Wouldnât have had to gone through that (agent would
Have helped fix) Roane the World by Dream Vacations next time call me
So theyre allowed to have cameras in âcommon areasââŚ& many hosts stay while the place is rented, they just lock that section of house offâŚmy neighbors do it in fl.
Airbnb has too many weird rules & loopholesâŚi doubt you can sue
Creepy! I wouldnât use Airbnb. Too personal staying in strangers home.

Iâm sorry youâre family had to endure such a bad experience⌠Heres hoping you get All your money refunded âŚ
Iâm sorry about your experience, you made a good decision to leave. Get your refund and then let it go. Teach your kids how to deal with and accept unexpected and unfortunate circumstances and make a plan for another way to have family fun. Chalk it up as a memory for the books, count your blessings, and be well. 
Horrible. This is terrible
- pretty sure owners have every right to put cameras in their place minus bedrooms and bathrooms
- yes you rented the whole place but doesnât necessarily mean the basement was included in that (why do you need access to the basement anyways)
- ya Iâd call the cops too if someone was in my house and I wasnât expecting them
Too many horror stories going around where Airbnb donât care to refund any trips or they give you the run around when you ask for help with issues.
Best bet maybe talk to a lawyer and see what if anything can be done.
Do whatever you can! Sue for the fact they didnât tell you that you were being recorded! Sue Sue Sue donât let them get away with that. get a lawyer!

Why didnât you talk to the husband? You saw all those strange things going on and you still went to dinner? All these excuses as to why you couldnât handle these issues. You, husband, wife, police shouldâve been on that call
Iâm so glad you posted, someone just recommended Air B&B and I had a strong intuition to avoid them because of stuff like this, she said that âcanât happenâ. I almost allowed myself to get talked into something when every fiber of my body screams to stay away. Thank you for the safety reminder!
OMG, To me is that the owner of the house is a croock. He tried to make some money with the house without the wife knowledge while the wife was away and forgot there were cameras in the house. I hope those security deposit was included in those $2,000. Why would I rented a house for that much money for only 4 nights. People need to be aware of those stunts.
Press charges on that creep
Take her to small claims court in that area. Itâs only a $25 fee and you could recoup all your $

Gurl you better get a refund⌠that man was clearly a creepy scammer. Thatâs a messaed up situation⌠sorry to hear your vacation was ruinedđ
This reminds me of the movie 13 cameras, on Prime Video. A guy rents out his house and stays in the basement waiting to attack those upstairs. He was using cameras to watch them and when they were out would go through their stuff.

why would she call her husband??? If I had cameras in my house (which I do) I also would call the police. The husband thought he could make a little money while the wife was out of town, So he did, Yes this was wrong & Airbnb is only believing what he wanted them to & that was to rent his house under a wk on these dates, Should they make him repay you back, I believe they should, but chances are, this might not happen, This is a private house, He really should have shut off the cameras, But then again the wife (who also owns the house ) probably would have notice that & called the police thinking something was wrong, AS for the husband creeping around, he probably had no other place to go or knew the Amazon delivery was coming & was waiting for it. And he probably had no other place to go !!! Creepy with that, yes,

Theyâve all looked âlived inâ but extra cleanâŚthereâs certain places you wonât have access to because they are suppose to put âimportantâ things up in those placesâŚmost do have cameras in common areas because folks have trashed places so itâs for legal/security reasonsâŚitâs their personal space so getting packages is normal (just donât touch them)âŚ.as far as the husbandâŚWEIRDO!!! I would have confronted himâŚas far as the wife, she should have gotten something from AirBnB about the rental if she normally is the one who takes care of it, so sheâs a weirdo too!âŚ.you did right by leaving when you felt unsafe though and youâre in for a fight to get your money back.

I just check a few places they have a lot of rooms available some have 5 night stays some have 3 night or 1 night. You would have yo hotel hope but at least you would get you vacation and spend less than 2,000 on hotels for the week.
I will never use airb&b again for situations like this. They are so unhelpful when people are scamming.

Why bad things always happen on a vacation specially when you pay big bucks sad
You should file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as well as leave reviews on any website they advertise on. I would also request a copy of the police incident report that should assist you in get your refunds back. You should probably also request copies of any report AirBnB took, as well as get hard copies from your bank on the money you put out for the trip, including the gas purchases and any other expenses you put out. You may need them if you have to escalate your claim. I would definitely be talking with their corporate office from this point on and if that goes no where Iâd contact an attorney.
Iâm attaching a link of some steps you can follow to help you escalate on your end. Hope it helps, good luck!!

This is why I donât use Airbnbâs, there are too many stories like this to many stories of weird things happening or unsafe things. I know there are plenty of people have good experiences and thatâs great but Iâm not taking that chance. I also know things can happen at hotels Iâm not asking that, Iâm saying why I personally donât stay at Airbnbâs.

Airbn does not have any guarantee of safety, it is better to pay a little more in a hotel.

You canât trust any of these sites anymore. We booked a room for a loved one on roomies.com. User was validated but it ended up being a fraud and they took our money w no keys. Roomies.com said âscammers get by sometimesâ. And havnt seen our money.
File a police report. Hopefully either you or your husband had the presence of mind to take pics of the camera and whatever else that you found to be out of order. Go to court for your money if you have to.
Im so sorry that happened to you and your family! What a horroble experience!
If they wonât refund you, dispute it with your credit card momma. I had an issue with Expedia during a snow storm, charged me $300 for a hotel I didnât book nor stay at, and it never let me cancel. Customer service through them was terrible, so I took it up with Apple & they refunded me.
Cameras are illegal in rental homes. Just an FYI Iâm a housekeeper for vacation rentals and we have had a few owner try to keep them in house and were told it was illegal
Report to AIRBNB. I used to clean these units. If they get complaints they can not stay on the site and itâs flagged by name and property address. I have had a lot of luck with AIRBNB . File a complaint please for us travelers.
