What's even worse is when it's dirty or in a state of disrepair, as one woman recently discovered when she arrived at what she thought was her Airbnb apartment.

The property was visibly dirty and appeared not to have been cleaned for quite some time.

"I'm too nice and wouldn't have said anything," added another fellow traveller.
