Airbnb is undoubtably one of the most popular methods to rent out properties which aren’t in use.
It allows people to turn an empty space into a method to earn extra money. But one woman was left utterly gobsmacked after her home’s listing turned into a nightmare experience.
Habiba Abdelall, who goes by @yahabibaaa on TikTok, shared her horror online, revealing the appalling state her guests left her home in after just a single night’s stay. She was appalled to find they overstayed their welcome, failed to secure the property and left it in utter disarray.
She detailed a litany of disasters that befell her property. The dining table was a mess, strewn with dirty glasses and an abandoned toilet roll among other debris.
In a video laying bare the damage, Habiba said: “The floor is so messy. So dirty. I have never seen is this dirty before. They’re nasty. Literally, what are they doing? Look at this table – oh my God, so dirty.
“The bedroom – disgusting. Look at that. So gross. Look at that stain on the bed. I don’t even want to touch that. So disgusting.”
Her walkthrough of the house revealed a scene of chaos, from stained bedsheets to litter everywhere, discarded takeout containers and even what appears to be a used condom left behind in the bed.
Gobsmacked Habiba couldn’t believe her bathroom was completely drenched and her bin broken, branding the chaos the “worst” she’s ever seen in her flat since opening it up for short-term rentals.
The video showing the wreckage has amassed more than 40,000 likes since being uploaded, with opinions on the state of the apartment quite divided. While a few viewers were shocked at the mess, others shrugged it off.
Someone commented: “As an Airbnb host, I charge a cleaning fee and I actually clean after the guests. Hope that helps.” Another advised: “All this after one day. You’re lucky it wasn’t for a week. That is ridiculous.”
A third stated: “Everyone saying it’s not that bad… I’d like to see your houses. That was after one night.”
Yet, some didn’t think it looked that bad as one noted: “It’s not bad at all. Have you seen how people leave hotel rooms?” Meanwhile, another chimed in with: “As an Airbnb cleaner, this is not bad whatsoever, lol.”
