Most people treasure and anticipate the opportunity to travel the world and meet new people throughout the year. Apart from exploring a new city or town, a significant component of this experience is reserving a decent hotel or Airbnb to ensure a pleasant stay. Murphy’s Law, which claims that “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong,” applies to some situations. Different people will respond differently in instances like this. In any case, this is an opportunity for everyone to learn something new. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some hilarious Airbnb and hotel disasters.
A Pool Area
Before booking a hotel, be sure it has certain amenities. To make your stay as enjoyable as possible, the more expensive hotels generally provide amenities such as pools. Many people are willing to pay a premium for amenities such as a nice swimming pool.
This person was told that this hotel has a pool area when he wanted to book it, and no one would have predicted what kind of pool they meant. Most people would have brought their bathing suits with the expectation of going for a refreshing swim after an evening stroll.
Ocean View
“If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is,” as the saying goes. After this encounter, we’re confident that this person would always seek clarification if they come across hotels with a great ocean view yet are ridiculously cheap.
To avoid becoming a victim of these scams, browse over the hotel’s website and look at pictures before making a reservation. This way, you can perhaps avoid any disappointments that would otherwise ruin your vacation.
Optical Illusion
When traveling, there are various things to consider so that your vacation does not turn into a nightmare before it even begins. You must be cautious about the foods you consume, avoiding items to which you are allergic and those that can make you feel nauseous.
Even if you managed to avoid plane sickness and the rigors of motion sickness, your ordeal is far from finished. While the carpet may be entertaining for some, it is a complete nightmare for others. Just make an effort not to glance down.
The Fitness Center
Certain hotel guests are quite conscientious about their fitness, while others are not. However, we are unsure of the location of this hotel. Did they convert their fitness center into a cushion store, or are they engaging in an unknown form of exercise?
There aren’t a lot of options. It may be ideal for couch potatoes, or guests can work on their muscles by flinging the couches around. Parkour can be used to practice and improve the skills of those who are more energetic and flexible.
Warning: Not for tall people
Some hotel accommodations should include warning warnings such as “not for extremely tall people.” We’re unsure who this Airbnb was made for because it’s too little for even a regular-sized person, let alone a tall person.
At the very least, the architect should have provided a cushion for the user’s head while they went about their work. Or, rather than seeing it as a design flaw, it could be another way of asking you to take a break from the white throne.
Unhinged DIY
Some Airbnb hosts try to address problems in their units themselves to save money. They occasionally do a fantastic job, but most of the time, you’re left wondering what they thought when they took such a risk.
This DIY approach is on the verge of being both ludicrous and hilariously brilliant. The appearance of this door makes you question what happened to the previous door. The most crucial concern, though, is how guests will lock the door?
Obey the rules
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to stay in a Chinese hotel, this “Warm Notice” should help. For starters, we appreciate how they clearly clarify their regulations so that guests know how to act at all times.
The message begins by warmly greeting the guests to their hotel, but it quickly moves on to the business at hand. They implore visitors to follow the land laws, including refraining from certain activities resulting in eviction.
DND
Aside from comfort, privacy is something that guests search for when booking a hotel. There’s no doubting that seclusion is essential for a relaxing visit. As a result, people will go to considerable efforts to avoid being disturbed.
Because he couldn’t wait to obtain the hotel room’s privacy door tag, this guest had to make do with what he had. It makes no difference what kind of door tag you use. The message is what matters, and this message cannot be overlooked.
Isolated
Another short tip to remember when booking a hotel or Airbnb is to make sure the restroom is convenient and that everything is within reach. And by convenient, we mean that it wasn’t made just for Elastigirl.
More seriously, how do they expect their visitors to get to the toilet paper? You could leave it heaped on the floor close to the toilet at that point. This isn’t the worst, but it’s far from ideal.
Movie Time
Consider how happy you’d be if you learned that the hotel you booked has a movie theater. We’re certain you’d be overjoyed, right? When they mentioned they had a theater, they weren’t lying. What they didn’t say was what kind it was.
There are two options for watching your movie here. You can either arrive early for a front-row seat or get a set of binoculars if you happen to be in the rear. Don’t forget to bring some popcorn to make your experience more enjoyable.
Confusing elevator
We use the elevator for a variety of purposes. The key reason is that it is more convenient. Not everyone wants to get your heart rate up by ascending a flight of steps. So the last thing you’d expect to happen in the elevator is for your comprehension skills to be put to the test.
If you’re the type who ignores signs, you could be surprised by this elevator. Not only will it be confusing for those heading to the 2nd floor, but we’re curious as to what number of people heading to the 6th floor will push.
One size
It’s wonderful to wake up at a nice hotel and see your significant other dressed in a robe while you order breakfast. While making plans for the day, both of you can relish the moment without a care in the world.
This, however, only applies to those of average height. It’s quite amusing to witness a very tall individual wearing a regular-sized robe, as hotels rarely have guests who are much taller than usual. They believe that “one size fits all.”
Blocked View
We all know that even without central air, a property can be great! The main issue, though, is the window beneath the air conditioner… Something is taped to the glass, and we’re sure it’s a fictitious view for the guest.
This is the room for you if you want to think about life without being distracted. The main question we have here is why the window was put in at all, given that the room would be fine without it.
Scary Stairway
This is a Stairway to Hell, not a Stairway to Heaven, and it’s going to be a challenge for a few guests. To begin with, it appears to be a puzzle of some kind, and it feels like a trap or a cruel prank.
The stairwell has narrow stairs to complicate matters, making it impossible for a sober person, let alone a guest who has had a few drinks, to descend. Maybe it’s a technique to keep the guests on their toes at all times.
Half of the bathroom
When guests pay a high hotel rate, they often expect to get good value for their money. In reality, we don’t believe the guests will be impressed with this bathroom, regardless of how much they pay for it, even if it is free.
The guests will most likely be dissatisfied that they will have to deal with this for the duration of their stay, and bathroom breaks will be a nightmare. They’ll have to hope that no one else accidentally opens the door, or they’ll be hurt.
Half-foot balcony
The way most hotel owners on this list get away with their pranks is something we’ve noticed. When he featured a balcony with a fantastic view, this hotel owner must have had guests dreaming, just like the pool table.
The majority of guests would have wished to have breakfast or their first cup of hot coffee on the balcony, but that was not to be. Technically, the balcony provides a great perspective of the area, but it is so small that it can hardly contain afoot.
Heart Stain
Nothing is more humiliating than sitting in a chair and then finding a stain on it as soon as you stand up. It appears to have been an accident, yet this ‘stain’ isn’t new, and it appears to have outlasted multiple guests.
This chair would be ideal for pulling pranks on unsuspecting guests, but we believe it would be a little too cruel. It’s preferable to get rid of it, or at the very least clean it completely, from a sanitary standpoint. Is this too much to ask?
Impending disaster
There’s a good likelihood the authorities didn’t check this bathroom since it’s a tragedy waiting to happen. It’ll just be a matter of time. Who lets this bathroom design fly when everyone knows electricity and water are the worst combinations ever?
This electric shower and hairdryer combination will have guests buzzing with surprise or excitement, as it’s similar to playing Russian roulette. Will you be stunned to the core, or will you be able to escape and live another day?
Out in the open
Bathroom time is a highly private moment for most people, and they do not take it for granted. For some, the time is spent reading a newspaper, magazine, or book, surfing the web (for those who enter with their phones), or reflecting on matters.
This hotel, on the other hand, takes privacy a step backward by including a translucent door. We strongly advise you to book this hotel only if you’ve developed a strong bond with your partner and don’t mind them seeing you there.
The right angles
The importance of perspective cannot be overstated. The way you see things, or the angle from which you see them, can have a big impact on your decision-making, and this Airbnb owner took advantage of it. This listing exemplifies the saying that “looks can be deceiving.”
On an Airbnb listing for a vacation house in France, the photo above was presented. We believe, however, that it is clear that this is not a full-sized pool. But, hey, at the very least, they had access to a pool.
The mini fridge
If you want something, it usually doesn’t hurt to ask. The worst that can happen is that your request will be declined. The most important thing is that you gave it everything you had. This guest and his companions made a simple request.
They requested that a mini-fridge be kept in their room, and their request was granted without hesitation. The mini-fridge is so small that it can’t even accommodate two bananas. Thus it was too good to be true.
Design fail
While traveling alone can be fun, it also has drawbacks. Traveling with family or a group of friends, on the other hand, is almost guaranteed to be enjoyable. The main downside is that you won’t get much alone time.
As luck would have it, the bathroom is the one room you can’t share with your friends. Unfortunately, this is not the case in this hotel since the designer decided it would be good to include a window in the bathroom that looks into the bedroom.
Honey Moom
Your honeymoon is a highly significant occasion because you only get to do it once in your life – for some people, at least. This is one of the main reasons why individuals go to great lengths to make every moment of it memorable and meaningful.
Nevertheless, if you get carried away with your excitement, anything could go wrong, and it will be captured in photographs like the one above. Although minor, this mistake in spelling can undo all of the staff’s hard work.
Dirty pool
It’s advisable not to take the word of hotel owners seriously, as we have stated. Because it has been established that many hotel owners are often economical with the truth, a little due diligence will spare you a lot of disappointment later.
A pool was actually part of this hotel’s listing. The guest waived it off once the concierge casually revealed that the pool was not accessible. Imagine his surprise when he learned why the pool was shut down.
Inaccessible
We’ve learned that expectations and reality are vastly different for many hotel owners, which occurs worldwide. The incident occurred in Russia when the guest noticed a sign indicating that the bathroom is wheelchair accessible.
Nobody seems to think it was necessary to point out that a flight of stairs in front of a “wheelchair accessible” entrance entirely contradicts the sign’s purpose. Perhaps the owner has no idea what the sign means.
Terrible carpet
Some hotel owners, we believe, strive to save money by doing things themselves or buying the lowest materials they can find. We came to this conclusion because no designer worth his salt would do something like this.
They will face a lawsuit if they do not exercise caution. This carpet design is not only perplexing, but it can also cause dizziness. The steps are tough to see in this photo without having to look twice.
Pool in a pool
We have a few queries for which we’d like answers. Why is there a pool in a pool, for starters? Since the main pool appears to be in good condition, perhaps there isn’t enough water, or perhaps the guests aren’t interested in swimming?
We keep coming up with additional questions that beg answers no matter how hard we attempt to rationalize this decision. The hotel appears to be a pretty popular area based on the number of people present, so that the main pool would have been a better option.
Look closely
This carpet may make you feel sick if you don’t look again, especially if you are the sort who feels sick at the sight of blood. This would be more fascinating to fans of crime and horror films. However, there is more to the story than meets the eye.
Contrary to expectations, this is not a crime scene, and everything is in working order. The red wavy patterns on the carpet have nothing to do with the housekeeping trolley. It’s just a strange but harmless carpet design.
How do you use it?
Certain hotel mistakes may make you wonder if the designer considered the user at all. On the other side, likely, the designer was just concerned with completing the task and was oblivious to the consequence.
The best illustration of how poorly to design a functional bathroom is this one. It will not only give you physical agony to use it, but it will also bring you a lot of emotional stress just by looking at it. Even something as simple as hand washing will become a chore.
Is that Casper?
Have you ever seen a ghost? We’re talking about a real ghost. Most likely, you’ll say no, that you’ve only seen one in the movies, and that most of us can’t relate to it. It’s possible that you don’t believe in ghosts at all.
After returning to his hotel room from a tour of the town, this person’s perception was about to shift. If it had been dark, what turned out to be a joke would have given him a heart attack, but we’ll give the prankster extra points for creativity.
Expectation vs reality
Occasionally, there is a significant gap between expectations and reality, and practically every internet buyer has witnessed this firsthand in some form. As a result, it’s always a good idea to read other people’s reviews to be safe.
This was a lesson learned the hard way during this traveler’s trip to Poland. He found this after searching online for a few hotels and booked it without hesitation because of the pictures. Imagine his surprise when he saw it in person.
Swampy Bathroom
A minor inconvenience can often be enough to ruin an entire trip. However, there are situations when you can control the situation, such as in this picture. This person inspected his hotel thoroughly before booking, but he still overlooked something important.
After his first shower, she noticed that the doors would not close. This is due to the 1-inch space between the doors, not because something is blocking it. As a result, whenever he showers, the floor turns into a tiny swamp.
What a view
Booking a room with a spectacular view of the ocean and the skyline is a dream come true, and this guy couldn’t believe his good fortune. His trip had started on the right foot, and he couldn’t wait to get to his hotel room.
It wasn’t long until his balloon popped. He found that the breathtaking view that had compelled him to reserve the accommodation was actually a billboard discreetly positioned behind his window. A fence and his air conditioner were the only things visible behind his window.
Which is it?
This hotel is for you if you enjoy brain teasers that strain your mind. Everything about it will leave you either amazed or confused, and it has nothing to do with your intelligence. This is a poor example of signage.
Look at this sign and try to figure out what it means. For starters, we know it’s on the third floor, but that’s it. Your next task is to find your room, and don’t rely on the numbers or arrows to do so because they won’t help you.
Wrong placement
Nothing interesting to see here! These stairwells are nothing out of the ordinary. This hotel owner thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to have a bathroom near the stairwell in case of an emergency. The best aspect is the toilet’s strategic placement.
We’ve seen some evil Airbnb bathroom designs so far, but this one may as well take the crown because it outperforms them all. We have no idea what the designer was thinking or why no one intervened.
No Sleep
When booking a hotel, one of the most crucial factors to consider is security. If you intend to spend the night there, you must ensure that you and your things are always safe. That’s why we’re wary about this sign.
Unfortunately for these guests, every opportunity to have a good night’s sleep will be thwarted. To begin, you must turn off the air conditioner before sleeping. And what might be the reason for barricading the door? Do we want to know?
Unconventional solutions
The saying “modern problems require modern solutions” could not be more accurate. People frequently come up with innovative yet practical – even unusual – solutions to issues. This person made a hotel reservation and couldn’t help but be impressed.
The first item that caught their notice was this outlet and cord. What exactly is plugged in? What’s the source of this? The questions go on and on, but would you believe any of the answers in the first place? We are unlikely to do so.
One-sided water pressure?
You may not realize how valuable certain things you take for granted are until you lose them. Bad water pressure is one of these issues. If you despise low water pressure, one-sided low shower pressure will be a major issue for you.
When you get to your hotel after a long journey, the first thing that comes to mind is to have a nice shower. Imagine having to use this shower with little water pressure on one side for the duration of your stay. No, thank you.
Lighted Shower
This hotel is a complete disaster. One thing was certain: this guest would have to find another place to rest for the night. Water appears to be leaking from one of the lights, and we’re not sure whether to call the plumber or the electrician.
The owners may end up calling both of them, based on the current situation. When the guest was told the hotel featured a lit shower, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. He’d have to ask them to be more explicit next time.
Get Fit
This person was told that this hotel had a fitness center when they booked it. As a result, he reasoned that he could still enjoy his vacation without worrying about his weight. He can unwind while yet maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
When he stumbled upon this painting on the hotel stairway on his way to the exercise center, he nearly lost his cool. During the day, people are startled by the image. Consider what would happen if you weren’t paying attention and came across it late at night!
Door Stopper
Some inventions may look to have been created by a genius, yet they may also be dangerous, which is a clear unintended consequence. This door stopper will be useful in this space, but it will also be a source of discomfort for the guests.
What could go wrong, you might wonder? When you hang your clothes or utilize the dresser, you now have something to stub your toe on. Unless you opt to cover the door stopper with an overturned ice bucket, you’re in for a long wait.
Hair art
Have you ever wondered what happens to all the hair in the bathroom? In this hotel, though, the owner has devised a novel method to put it all to good use – in the form of art. As you may be aware, the value of art is very subjective and dependent on several things.
The hotel owners reportedly thought it was valuable enough to put it on display, but we think it’s a flop. Not only may guests find this revolting, but some may lose their appetite just by looking at it. It becomes worse the more you stare at it.
Silent fire alarm
This hotel owner places a high value on their guests’ comfort and will go to great lengths to guarantee that nothing upsets them throughout their stay, even if the fire is life-threatening. Like those of the other hotels on our list, the restrictions are quite clear and must be followed in the letter.
If you are leaving the hotel, you must not make any noise, and you must not wake anyone up while evacuating the building during a fire. Although we understand that this exit must be open at all times, this sign nonetheless makes us giggle.
Funny food menu
A hotel in Saudi Arabia tried to accommodate international tourists by translating their whole meal menu into English; they created a gem in the process. The translator performed so poorly that he unintentionally created comedy gold.
Metal Suspicion, An Order of White Eyes, Luxury Sofa, and Some Foul Metal are just a few of them that would make excellent band names. On the other hand, consider your client ordering “she is suspicious of cheese” or “popular problem” carefully.
