We booked a small flat in Edinburgh city centre for just one night through booking.com. It was advertised as ‘lovely quiet flat near the town centre’. Pictures on booking looked legit and we booked. Check in 20th February - check out 21st February. As soon as we checked in we encountered the reality: cigarette ashes on table, empty paper cup, trash in corridor, entrance, in front of window, hairs and still foam from previous guest in bathtub and shower, microwave with food smear, fridge with food, oven with burnt piece of something inside, rust on towel heaters, dump / rubbish under sink, dried toothpaste in sink, towels still wet and wrinkled from previous owner, no emergency exit sign, no property instructions book. We contacted the host immediately via WhatsApp. We sent him all pictures. He denied everything of course. We called booking.com. They said to contact the property which is all we did. They just replied denying everything and that’s it. We were travelling with kids. We had to sleep dressed as bed were not made from previous guest and still smelled of cigarette, weed and had hairs all over. It had been a nightmare. We couldn’t even wash as we didn’t have clean towel. A true nightmare. Never book anything managed by this company. It’s a total scam. I have seen it advertised not just on booking but Airbnb. Please stay away from these people. They are not honest. It’s a proper scam.
