Ben Speller and a friend from the U.K. traveling to Amsterdam for a soccer match booked a “clean home in Amsterdam with a private bathroom” using AirBnB. It was available for their last minute decision and only $128 for one night.
When they arrived, you could say it was a bit of a surprise that the “clean home” they had secured was a large metal box standing on the side of the road. When they opened the door, they found three mattresses covered in flimsy bedding and a portable toilet installed inside.
“We took a few pictures of the inside and then we went to find a hotel,” Speller said. The hotel room cost them an additional $300, but the AirBnB host was not sympathetic to their complaints. Luckily, AirBnB reimbursed Speller for the “room,” his hotel and removed both the host and listing.
BTW, the shipping container was also removed because, unsurprisingly, it wasn’t actually allowed to be there.
