    Dude. When you show up at a place to check in and its shut down ? It's less about the money and more about how fucked it is. I had an outdoor pool booked for the hottest weekend of the year. Fuck. I was looking forward to this trip. Just to get fucked.

    The other guy did get screwed for 500+

    Oh and its my birthday today

    Got a Best Western. Pool is closed bc covid. But we went to the beach. Water was nice and piss warm to swim in.

    But yeah. Airbnb is all the rage these days and I wanted none of it. But I bent my rule..No more of these dodgy joints

    The booking was through Expedia. But the early check in fee I paid direct to the website

    Yeah, they've been great whenever I've used them.

    There were some government snarl ups with regulation when we went to Japan a couple of years ago. No fault of airbnb's, but I got my money refunded in full PLUS the same amount of money added to my account as an apology.

    The problems with accommodation on the first ten days of the trip funded our accommodation costs for the second ten days.

    Result!

    Did you try calling them by phone, BS?

    Management does live onsite and is available to deal with any event as it may arise
    The phone number from their website:

    call our hotel toll free at 1-833-522-0222

    So, not a hotel at all but a B&B...

    ...can't remember the last time I used a B&B, over 40 years ago at least...

    Bullshit. I used something more reputable. Expedia is the Amazon of travel in canada

    Easy to say in hindsight. This place is all over the Internet with reviews on all the main travel sites

    So checks what just turned up in my email inbox…

    HOLY FAWK.

    okay so backstory.

    house beside mine is owned by a Chinese family who moved back to China for whatever reason ( I think their mom got sick? ) not exactly sure. But that was 3 years ago now.

    They had the place rented out to some fucktwits for the last 2.5 years, Well they decided to make a 3 bedroom house into a 6 bedroom airbnb, They even made the garage into a bedroom for these fucktwits to sleep in when all the bedrooms where rented out.

    So Fast forward past all the late night parties and idiots ( because this place looks quite nice, and has a pool etc ) to Monday night at about 7PM. A massive U-haul with a car trailer shows up. Curious.. but w/e I was getting home from work, Hot and tired..

    Throughout the night ( from 9pm - 6am ) there was bashing and crashing as they slowly loaded up the u-haul, Then at 3pm the next day it disappeared with just the car trailer left ( with a broken down car in their driveway ) they rinse and repeated this schedule until Friday morning, where at 2pm they attempted to load their broken down car onto the car trailer.. That was a show.. They had the car trailer detached from the truck, attached a towstrap to the truck and car and pulled it up. It was a chaotic site.. Well they ended up strapping the car down with a single 2000lb tie down from a dollar store and started driving away with the back of the uhaul open. ( They realized when a large pot fell out and smashed )

    So fast forward to 3pm Friday.. They are gone, I'm outside working on my trailer ( will post pics later.. Shit looks minty ) and this family is walking around very confused. I them if they where staying at the airbnb..

    YUP!!! Booked on Expedia, Paid 1k for 2nights.

    Expedia put them up in another hotel, and a hour later, another family showed up. same shit..

    Every 2 or 3 hours now someone new shows up looking to stay at the bnb ( most knocking on my door asking wtf is up ).. and I get to tell them "you got fucking scammed bitch" and the worst part is as people call Expedia they are marking the room they where going to say in as "vacant" and it gets rented out insantly again due to being the only place with a pool in this area.

    So.. Since then..

    Today was even more insane, we have had 4 groups including an entire baseball team show up.. Now the baseball team figured out the front door was FULLY WIDE OPEN So they made use of "the room they rented" and tramped though the house. left empty booze bottles everywhere.. Its a fucking mess.

    So i've since changed the locks to keep the riftraft out, Tested the pool ( no chlorine, no salt in it ) so I've shocked it to get it back up to snuff.. I'm going to go get salt for it tomorrow.. Locked the gates and windows so the house and pool are now "secure" ( until someone tossed a rock though the window )

    Shit what a fucking mess and all during a heat wave.

    The Police say, Nothing they can do until someone is in the house they pointed us to the City.. The city says "well we can't locate the property manager and the owner has it as hes living in the house.. so they said to call the fire department to come and board up the doors / windows with plywood.

    Shit crazy man, but I got a pool now so who wants to come for a pool party?
    Lang may yer lum reek...

    That's the story. I was one of the groups before the baseball team.

    Where did you find this !??

    $1000 for 2 nights ? Sounds like I was the least fucked monetarily
