‘I was surprised by his review’: Airbnb guests get their trip refunded after home owner shows up to property unannounced and gives them a bad review

Airbnb used to be way cheaper, but thanks to inflation (among other things), it's almost better to check into a hotel. Also, hosts can be frustrating to deal with. I'm not saying guests are angels, but let's just say it's a double-edged sword. This poster (OP) was attending a friend's wedding and opted to stay in an Airbnb. They had to make sure that pets were welcome, because they were bringing along their dog. Luckily they found just the place but upon arrival, the Airbnb owner showed up unannounced. This is very much against policy… But OP was okay with that… at first.

The owner told them that there was a pet fee, which OP completely forgot about and offered to pay immediately. The owner said it was okay and didn't take their money… Later, things became complicated, because as it turned out, the owner did care, but instead of being upfront about it, they wrote a scathing review. Scroll down to read what happened, and then check out this dude who accidentally turned off his mobile data and demanded the company compensate him. For 20 minutes.
