25 Sep
Summary
- A guest cancelled an Airbnb after the host texted 'pretty' upon receiving her ID.
- The guest felt unsafe due to the host having her ID and knowing her late arrival.
- Social media users overwhelmingly supported the guest's decision to cancel.
A guest recently cancelled an Airbnb reservation upon receiving an unprofessional message from the host. The woman had submitted her identification to the owner, as required for an automatic check-in code. Shortly after sending her ID details, the host responded with the singular word, "Pretty." This message caused the guest immediate discomfort and concern for her safety, particularly as the host had her identification and knew she would be arriving late.
Feeling that the situation was unsettling, the guest promptly booked a hotel, incurring double the cost. She then requested a refund for the Airbnb, despite the late cancellation. Her experience, shared online, resonated with many, who assured her that her reaction was valid and that prioritizing personal safety over potential inconvenience was the correct course of action. The consensus online highlighted that such unprofessional behavior from a host warrants caution.
