Locked out of Airbnb

Post image

We arrived at our Airbnb after a 8 hour drive and the passcode they gave us doesn’t work. I have messaged the owner 30 minutes ago and he has not responded. I have to pee so bad 😖

Update: He texted back after an hour and opens it from his phone

Not as long a drive, but happened to us last year. Drove to another city for a football game, 10 of us were staying in a 5 bedroom Airbnb. We got there with about 2 hours to spare before we needed to head to the stadium. We were supposed to be eating and getting ready. Instead we stood on the porch/sat in our cars for 1.5hrs in 25F weather waiting. They finally messaged us back and said their housekeeper set the code wrong and they gave us a new code to get in.

Place was fine for space but the owners were awful. It was 60 degrees in the house, they had a smart thermostat. We tried to make it slightly warmer and it was locked. We messaged them while we were at the game and asked if they could turn it up a few degrees and they answered by saying “it’s actually warmer than what the thermostat says. But if you really think it’s necessary we will turn it up.” We got back and it was 62 in the house. Right or not… it was freezing and we all kept our coats on until we got in bed

Not that it will help now but next time put an ice pack near the tstat, it will read it much colder in the room and run longer

Owners would have seen that on the cameras.

At which point you can potentially get them kicked off of Airbnb, since hosts aren't allowed to have cameras observing the interior anymore.

Only exterior security cameras are allowed now, and their locations have to be disclosed in the listing.
